Abstract:The nature of solar energy is intermittent due its variable magnitude in daytime and zero throughout the night or during overcast conditions, which limiting its use in hospitals and in various industrial and domestic applications particularly in water heating. Because of inconsistent nature of solar energy some type of thermal energy storage (TES) system is essential for its effectual utilization and to meet the energy demand at all the times. Phase change material (PCM) is a very good option for latent heat T… Show more
