Phase change materials (PCMs) having a large latent heat during solid-liquid phase transition are promising for thermal energy storage applications. However, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the majority of promising PCMs (<10 W/ (m ⋅ K)) limits the power density and overall storage efficiency.
In the phase transformation of the PCM, the solid–liquid phase change of material is of interest in thermal energy storage applications due to the high energy storage density and capacity to store energy as latent heat at constant or near constant temperature.
In particular, the melting point, thermal energy storage density and thermal conductivity of the organic, inorganic and eutectic phase change materials are the major selection criteria for various thermal energy storage applications with a wider operating temperature range.
Hüseyin and Aydın (2009) reported the analytical and experimental performance analysis of phase change material employed to analyze the transient thermal behavior of the PCM storage unit during the charge and discharge periods for greenhouse heating.
