A recent article in the Journal of Energy Storage investigated the impact of non-linear porosity distributions in copper foam on the thermal performance and melting behavior of palmitic acid, a phase ...

Researchers in Malaysia designed a photovoltaic-thermal system that can be used in solar drying, space heating, rooftop systems, and off-grid thermal applications. It relies on a double-pass cooling ...

Imperial College London scientists have designed an air-source heat pump system (ASHP) to provide space heating (SH) and domestic hot water (DHW) for single-family dwellings, powered by solar. “The ...

In recent years, the use of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in thermal management systems (TMS) has garnered increased interest due to their high latent heat storage capacity, which enables effective ...

The growing global energy demand and the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources have driven the need for efficient thermal energy storage solutions. Phase change materials (PCMs), known for ...

We proposed a PCM-based energy storage solution to be integrated in air-distribution systems. Charging and discharging of the PCM storage can be achieved through dynamic reset of the supply air ...

Innovative biochar-infused phase-change materials show significant improvements in thermal conductivity and energy storage, advancing sustainable construction.
