“…Advanced models for considering the detailed effects of nanoparticles should be developed. Despite the abundance of publications in the literature for simulating phase change flow, many complex or newly invented systems have not yet been investigated by the CFD methods intensively. Examples include passive thermal management of nuclear reactors assisted with PCM, the PCM assistant solar energy systems for drying biomass and coal, the hydrogenation reactions with reaction and vaporization, the process intensification via microchannels used in catalyst reactions with drying, the cryogenic liquid storage assisting with cryogenic-PCM, and the solidification and melting in cutting-edge self-healing materials. Various aspects of our lives have benefited from phase change phenomena that originate from natural processes.…”

Phase change is a phenomenon that has been extensively utilized in chemical engineering, energy, electronics, vehicle, and space exploration. From both the science and engineering perspectives, gaining a profound understanding of the intricacies of multiphase flow processes accompanied by heat and mass transfer due to phase change is of fundamental importance. Indeed, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been increasingly applied as an effective tool to give an in-depth and efficient analysis of the phase change processes, thereby enhancing our understanding and capacity to control and optimize the phase change effects in these processes. This paper seeks to provide a comprehensive review of the utilization of CFD methodologies in the simulations of phase change flows across various applications, including temperature management, drying, separation and purification, and others. First, the CFD models at various scales that are developed to elucidate the phase change processes are summarized. Second, the noteworthy advances in the recent CFD simulation work on various phase change processes are presented, respectively. Finally, the challenges and potential prospects to facilitate the application of the phase change flow are discussed. The current review aims to offer insightful guidance for the CFD modeling of phase change processes in numerous engineering application scenarios.

“…As shown in Figure 3, the two basic TES mechanisms are sensible thermal energy storage (STES) and latent thermal energy storage (LTES) 23 . Another option is utilizing thermochemical storage (TCS) or combination and alterations of these three techniques 24–26 . The working principle of STES is storing thermal energy by using a temperature difference (higher or lower temperature depending upon its application).…”

Thermal energy is one of the most widely encountered energy forms in our daily life. To ensure efficient utilization and conversion of this energy, the balance between supply and demand needs to be maintained. For this purpose, thermal energy storage is required. There are various thermal energy storage systems available; one of the most basic is sensible thermal energy storage which includes rock thermal energy storage (RTES). This rock‐based energy storage has recently gained significant attention due to its capability to hold large amounts of thermal energy, relatively simple storage mechanism and low cost of storage medium. Accordingly, numerous studies have been conducted to elucidate the basic flow and heat transfer mechanism and to evaluate the performance of this energy storage. The major technical challenges hindering the wide adoption of this technology are the enormous pressure drop across the storage and nonoptimal heat transfer from the heat transfer fluid to the storage medium and vice versa. These issues will directly and indirectly affect the overall cost (capital, operational, and maintenance costs) of the system. To eliminate this issue and assist further development of this technology, it is crucial to compile and extract important findings from these previous studies, identify the challenge and research gap, and draw guidelines for the upcoming research and development. At the moment, this kind of compilation does not exist. Hence, this paper is prepared with the primary objective to comprehensively review the current technology and development of RTES and to propose a potential way forward based on the pain point identified. Discussion on the nontechnical aspect such as policy and regulations as well as community awareness will also be outlined and discussed.

“…22,23 Silica and muscovite are common sensible heat storage materials, and they both have a large specific heat capacity. 24,25 In the pyrite waste, pyrite served as a photothermal conversion material which can absorb light over a wide range and subsequently convert it into heat, and the heat from the photothermal effect is rapidly transferred to silica and muscovite and then stored in them for further use. Besides, pyrite is also a Fenton catalyst and iron is present in the form of divalent iron.…”
