Phase change materials (PCMs) are increasingly being used for thermal energy storage in buildings and industry to produce energy savings and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. PCM slurries are also being investigated for active thermal energy storage or as alternatives to conventional single phase...

There is increasing interest in using phase change materials (PCMs) to store energy within refrigeration equipment. The main purpose is to increase the thermal capacity of the equipment and maintain product temperature within safe limits during frequent door openings, on–off cycling of the...

Continuous frying systems are very energy intensive. They also involve the interaction of many variables and complex heat and mass transfer processes. Better control of these processes can lead not only to improved product quality but also energy reduction. This paper presents a model that can...
