TL;DR: In this article, the Galerkin finite element method is used to obtain solutions to the enthalpy formulation for phase change in 1D slabs of pure material, by assuming a superficial phase change region (linear φl vs T) around the discontinuity at the melting point.
58 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a coupled integral equation formulation is developed to obtain an analytic expression for the location of the moving interface in planar melting or solidification of a semi-infinite medium at the melting point, subjected to a time-varying surface temperature.
58 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of complex interaction of natural convection and melting of phase change material inside a square cavity with a local heater of volumetric heat generation is studied.
57 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical and experimental study of the effect of solid-side subcooling on the phenomenon of melting by natural convection at the vertical interface between a solid body and a pool of its own liquid is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the solidification behavior in a finned TES with varying proportion of Graphene nano plates (GNP) to evaluate the overall thermal conductivity of GNP-PCM composite.
