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.
