Phase Change Material Melting Process in a Thermal Energy Storage System for Applications in Buildings

The development of thermal energy storage systems is a possible solution in the search for reductions in the difference between the global energy supply and demand. In this context, the ability of some materials, the so-called phase change materials (PCMs), to absorb and release large amounts of ene...
