The objective of the present work is to investigate experimentally the thermal behavior of a packed bed of combined sensible and latent heat thermal energy storage (TES) unit. A TES unit is designed, constructed and integrated with constant temperature bath/solar collector to study the...

The present study aims to investigate the solidification characteristics of water based NFPCM (nanofluid phase change material). The NFPCM was prepared by dispersing copper oxide nanoparticles and a nucleating agent in the base PCM (phase change material). The experiments were conducted at...
