TL;DR: In this paper, a pore-scale computational analysis is carried out to characterize the performance of an n-eicosane-aluminium-foam composite PCM with a porosity of 0.94, over varying microstructural properties including strut, pore and cell sizes, and specific surface area.
67 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a front-tracking/finite difference method for simulation of drop solidification on a cold plate is presented, which includes temporal evolution of three interfaces, i.e. solid liquid, solid gas, and liquid gas, that are explicitly tracked under the assumption of axisymmetry.
65 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the thermal behavior of nano-encapsulated phase change material (NEPCM) suspensions in a cylindrical cavity and investigate the effect of the fusion temperature of the particle core (θf) on heat transfer.
64 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical scheme based on the enthalpy method is applied to spherical solidification, which provides a means to track the position of the phase front with very little extra effort.

TL;DR: In this article, the Lunardini solution was used for predicting soil thawing subject to conduction, advection, and phase change. But, the accuracy of the solution was not shown to be proportional to the Stefan number.
