Behavior of a PCM at Varying Heating Rates: Experimental and Theoretical Study with an Aim at Temperature Moderation in Radionuclide Concrete Encasements
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase change behavior of a material is determined by its heat capacity and the peak it exhibits near a phase change, and the behavior of such peaks for a selected PCM at heating rates varying between $$0.1\,^{\circ }\hbox {C}cdot \hbox{min}^{-1}
