High Temperature Thermal Storage Systems using Phase Change Materials

With increasing interest in high temperature phase change material (PCM) applications such as solar cooling, waste heat and concentrated solar power (CSP), High temperature thermal storage systems using phase change materials gives an overview of several high temperature PCM thermal storage systems concepts, developed by several well-known global institutions. Uniquely arranged by concepts rather than categories, this title offers a collection of advanced topics such as thermal storage material packaging, arrangement of flow bed, analysis of flow and heat transfer in the flow bed, energy storage analysis, storage volume sizing and applications in different temperature range. Comparing the varying approaches and results of different research centers and offering state of the art concepts, the content gives the reader the opportunity to acquire new and advance knowledge from researchers all over the world. This reference will be useful for researchers and academia interested in the concepts and applications and different techniques involved in high temperature PCM thermal storage systems.
