Multiscale Finite Element Modeling of the Effect of Macro-Encapsulated Phase-Change Materials on the Thermal Performance of Hydronic Floor Heating Systems
Phase-change materials (PCMs) are commonly employed in building service equipment to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption. This study conducted multi-scale finite element modeling to analyze the steady-state and dynamic thermal behavior of a hydronic radiant floor heating syste...
