Selection principles and thermophysical properties of high temperature phase change materials for thermal energy storage: A review

This article examined the capacity of phase change materials (PCM) to act as phase change thermal energy storages (TES). The review also investigated the thermophysical properties of high temperature PCMs, which can be used as a reference for the design of high temperature phase change TES systems. The transient plane source (TPS) technique was used, among others, to determine the thermal conductivity of the PCMs. It was noted that there ...

Strategy for visualisation of the activity of phase change materials by transient plane source technique

Phase change materials (PCMs) are materials that store thermal energy and undergo phase transitions when they are heated and cooled, making them effective alternatives to fossil fuels for building insulation. To determine the energy performance of PCMs in infrastructure it is important to understand their thermal characteristics. The transient plane heat source (TPS) method was used to determine the thermal conductivity of the PCMs ClemSel 21 and ClemSel 24. The thermal conductivities ...
