Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the heat transfer characteristics of a kind of MPCM suspension, formed by microencapsulating industrial-grade 1-bromohexadecane (C16H33Br) as phase change material, were experimentally studied for laminar flow in a circular tube under constant heat flux.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical study of unconstrained melting of nano-enhanced phase change materials (NEPCM) inside a spherical container using RT27 and copper particles as base material and nano-particle, respectively.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the melting behavior of paraffin wax as a phase change material (PCM) encapsulated in a cylindrical capsule, used in a latent heat thermal energy storage system with a solar water heating collector, is analyzed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a tube-in-shell thermal energy storage system with three kinds of paraffin with different melting temperatures is analyzed experimentally, and the effects of the Reynolds number and the Stefan number on the melting and solidification behaviors are determined.
