“…Therefore it is necessary to avoid slow rate of crystallization when dealing with CaCl 2 $6H 2 O as PCM [76]. Alternatively, encapsulation of CaCl 2 $6H 2 O has been proposed by various authors [79]. In particular, Zivkovic and Fujii [79] studied cylindrical and rectangular container geometries for encapsulation of calcium chloride.…”

In particular, Zivkovic and Fujii [79] studied cylindrical and rectangular container geometries for encapsulation of calcium chloride. Their computational model, which is validated with experimentation, has shown that the melting time for a rectangular container is lower and therefore preferred.…”

“…The explicit approach followed by the Authors has been proved numerically stable and convergent if the Fourier number is less than 0.5 (which is our case). In contrast with the method by Zivkovic et al [40], our approach is generally less numerically intensive compared with the implicit method. A forward difference at time t and a first-order central difference for the space derivative at position x was used.…”

“…Starting from the approach followed by [40], where a simple implicit computational model for isothermal phase change was presented, the authors developed a modified algorithm based on an explicit finite difference formulation of the heat equation.

Abstract:The exploitation of renewable energy sources and specifically photovoltaic (PV) devices have been showing significant growth; however, for a more effective development of this technology it is essential to have higher energy conversion performances. PV producers often declare a higher efficiency respect to real conditions and this deviation is mainly due to the difference between nominal and real temperature conditions of the PV. In order to improve the solar cell energy conversion efficiency many authors have proposed a methodology to keep the temperature of a PV system lower: a modified crystalline PV system built with a normal PV panel coupled with a Phase Change Material (PCM) heat storage device. In this paper a thermal model analysis of the crystalline PV-PCM system based on a theoretical study using finite difference approach is described. The authors developed an algorithm based on an explicit finite difference formulation of energy balance of the crystalline PV-PCM system. Two sets of recursive equations were developed for two types of spatial domains: a boundary domain and an internal domain. The reliability of the developed model is tested by a comparison with data coming from a test facility. The results of numerical simulations are in good agreement with experimental data.Keywords: phase change material; crystalline photovoltaic modules; heat storage; finite difference method; experimental validation

“…Many researchers made a theoretical study on the thermal performance of the PCM [33][34][35][36][37][38], and they proposed different methods to enhance its heat transfer efficiency [39]. The finned tubes of different configurations are used to enhance the heat transfer of the latent heat storage system [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50].…”

The paper reviews about the implementation of Latent Heat Storage System in the food storage techniques, due to its high-energy density and isothermal nature. It helps in sustaining the temperature of the hot food for a long time, thus preventing the pathogen growth. Adverse effects are faced by the children due to the pathogen growth in the food.Reasons for the cause of foodborne illness in the children were discussed. The characteristics of the phase change material (PCM) for the latent heat storage was described in detail. Finally, preparation and commercial feasibility of the PCM were studied and presented.
