“…However, there are several methods to overcome the effect of supercooling such as adding metal additives and nucleating agents to the PCM. Yet, these additives increase the chances of decreasing the PCM's latent heat of fusion and consequently the thermal performance of the system (Sharshir et al, 2023).…”

“… Low thermal conductivity PCMs are known to have low thermal conductivity which negatively affects the heat transfer rates during the phase change process and decreases the efficiency of the system (Sharshir et al, 2023). Previous research has investigated different methods to enhance the thermal conductivity of PCM by using additives and composites such as exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets, metal foams, and carbon fiber.…”

“…Despite the impact of encapsulation in enhancing thermal conductivity, it was proven to be insufficient. Consequently, several techniques have been developed to improve the PCM physical characteristics such as latent heat of fusion, specific heat, and thermal conductivity (Sharshir et al, 2023). These techniques involve adding high-conductivity materials to the PCM such as graphite flakes, metal particles, graphite, and carbon fibers (Figure 4).…”

The worldwide energy crisis has made energy-saving a topic of concern in almost every country. Previous research has explored the use of thermal energy storage materials (TES), such as phase change materials (PCMs), as an effective energy-saving technique. Among various immersion techniques, macro-encapsulation has proven to be efficient, safe, and convenient. However, choosing the right PCM system can be complicated due to the variety of available PCM types, encapsulation materials, and encapsulation shapes. Moreover, while macro-encapsulated PCM systems are efficient, their feasibility depends on several factors, including energy prices, economic situation, and climatic conditions. Therefore, this research aims to provide a comprehensive overview to help create a deeper understanding of the design and application of macro-encapsulated PCM systems. It explains the different types of PCM, encapsulation materials, and encapsulation shapes, guiding the selection for the most appropriate system regarding the surrounding environment. Additionally, it aims to present a guideline for conducting feasibility studies on energy-saving systems such as PCM. A total of 80 research papers covering the intersection between the thermal performance of PCM and the economic assessment have been categorized, studied, and analyzed in order to identify the most accurate method of assessing the system’s feasibility. By providing a base knowledge regarding the various types of each element of the system and the factors that govern the selection of each, this research will help engineers appropriately design the system. In addition, providing a detailed guideline to the assessment of the system shall aid the decision makers in determining the system’s feasibility which encourages its application. Finally, the research investigates and addresses the key issues for future studies.

This study investigates the influence of Glycerin content, water-to-binder (w/b) ratio, and concrete grade on the thermal and mechanical properties of concrete incorporating Glycerin as a phase change material (PCM). M20, M30 and M40 grades of concrete were studied using 0.40, 0.45 and 0.50 w/b ratios. The amount of Glycerin varied from 0 %, 2.5 %, 5.0 %, 7.5 % to 10 % and compressive strength was studied on 7, 28, 56 and 90 days. The slump values decrease with increasing glycerin content, especially at higher w/b ratios, with M20 concrete exhibiting the lowest slump due to its lower grade. Maximum compressive strength is achieved at 5% glycerin content across all mix categories, with a w/b ratio of 0.45 yielding the highest strength. Glycerin content affects the thermal properties, while the w/b ratio significantly influences thermal conductivity. Glycerin content has the most significant impact on thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity. The interaction between glycerin dose, w/b ratio, and concrete grade is analyzed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM), revealing complex dependencies among these factors. These findings contribute to understanding the behavior of glycerin-modified concrete and provide insights for optimizing its thermal and mechanical properties in construction applications.

Due to the unique thermal absorption and release capabilities, phase‐change materials (PCMs) are used in various industrial fields, such as photo‐thermal storage and building‐energy saving. In recent years, more and more research has been dedicated to applying PCMs to the medical field with substantial progress, opening new avenues for disease treatment and healthcare. The safety and reliability of PCMs may be taken into serious consider for continuous application in the medical field, while the relevant review on the related development is currently lacking. In this work, the methods for enhancing the applicability and reliability of PCMs in the medical field are systematically summarized, including microencapsulation, electrospinning technology, and porous framework encapsulation, which effectively address the issues of liquid leakage. Subsequently, the emerging advances of PCMs in medical healthcare, including medical dressings treatment, drug delivery, cold chain transport, and bio‐bone cement are summarized. By exploring and analyzing the encapsulation methods, principles as well as the emerging advances of PCMs in medical field, the challenges and perspectives promoting the applications are identified, presenting the guidelines for further development.
