TL;DR: In this article, two types of models are mainly discussed, on the basis of first law and second law of thermodynamics, and their important characteristics of different models and their assumptions used are presented and discussed, the experimental validation of some models are also presented.
Abstract: Mathematical modeling of a latent heat thermal energy storage system (LHTES) was used for the optimum material selection and to assist in the optimal designing of the systems. In this paper, two types of models are mainly discussed, on the basis of first law and second law of thermodynamics. The important characteristics of different models and their assumptions used are presented and discussed, the experimental validation of some models are also presented.
