Recent developments in phase change material-based solar water heating systems: Insights on research trends and opportunities
Numerous researchers have proposed phase change materials (PCMs) as an alternative for increasing the autonomy of solar water heaters (SWHs). Many studies have considered SWHs with PCMs in three main configurations: PCMs inside the solar thermal collector, inside a coupled heat storage unit, and wit...
