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.

Transient state study of electric motor heating and phase change solid-liquid cooling
TL;DR: In this article, a model of an autosynchronous electric motor stator, operating at transient state, is presented, which includes around 20 nodes and shows that hot spots are localized on the winding heads and leads to the choice of a solid liquid phase change cooling system.

Phase Change Heat Transfer During Melting and Resolidification of Melt Around Cylindrical Heat Source(s)/Sink(s)
K. Sasaguchi,R. Viskanta +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the cylinder surface temperatures on heat transfer during the melting and freezing cycle were investigated. And the results showed that multiple liquid regions may develop in the phase change material around the embedded heat sources/sinks.
