••
TL;DR: In this paper, the melting of a moderate-Prandtl-number material (n-eicosane) in a cylindrical enclosure heated from the side is described.
208 citations
••
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.

••
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.
191 citations
••
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.
