“…Those prototypes have been useful for measuring some thermal and mechanical parameters of concrete during the operation at high temperatures up to 400 • C. Numerical simulations of CTES have also reported the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of this type of thermal energy storage material (Vigneshwaran et al, 2019). However, most simulations are made assuming thermal properties with constant values, that is, considering them as temperature-independent properties (Vigneshwaran et al, 2019;Xu et al, 2017;Bai and Xu, 2011;Chen et al, 2019;Jian et al, 2015;Buscemi et al, 2018;Bataineh and Gharaibeh, 2018;Giannuzzi et al, 2017;Salomoni et al, 2014). Additionally, due to the high difficulty of evaluating these properties at high temperatures, in many studies, the thermal conductivity obtained at room temperature is used for the simulations (Doretti et al, 2019).…”
