A review on phase change energy storage: materials and applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the phase change materials (PCM) and their application in energy storage is presented, where the main advantages of encapsulation are providing large heat transfer area, reduction of the PCMs reactivity towards the outside environment and controlling the changes in volume of the storage materials as phase change occurs.

A review of materials, heat transfer and phase change problem formulation for latent heat thermal energy storage systems (LHTESS)
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase change problem has been formulated using pure conduction approach but the problem has moved to a different level of complexity with added convection in the melt being accounted for, which makes it difficult for comparison to be made to assess the suitability of PCMs to particular applications.

An experimental investigation of natural convection in the melted region around a heated horizontal cylinder
TL;DR: In this paper, the shape of the solid-liquid interface has been determined photographically, and the local heat transfer coefficients have been measured using a shadowgraph technique, showing the importance of natural convection in phase change problems involving melting and indicate that continued practice of neglecting the effects in the analysis of such problems does not appear reasonable.
