Increasing the efficiency and sustainability of transportation is a key topic for both automakers and academic researchers. The noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) of electric and hybrid electric vehicles affect their occupants, which is essential if these vehicles are to be commercially successful. Furthermore, noise pollution in urban areas is...

Sand particles featuring great refractoriness, chemical stability, strength, and high permeability, which are monitored at high temperature, are the most common utilized material for shape making. In casting process, the material is first liquefied by heating and then poured into a priori prepared mold cavity where casting is solidified. The cast i...

The thermal storage composite produced in this research was fabricated by integrating a novel eutectic phase change material of 80% butyl stearate (BS) and 20% isopropyl palmitate (ISOP) into supporting material of expanded graphite (EG) without leakage. 10% of eutectic mixture (EM) formed in the form-stable composite EM_EG is incorporated into the...

Latent heat thermal energy storage systems exhibit a significant performance over other thermal energy storage systems. The performance of these particular systems during melting/solidification is influenced by their orientation. Therefore, a numerical investigation and experimental validation were conducted. ANSYS Fluent 18.1 is used to develop a...

The present study experimentally and numerically explores the solidification process of three organic phase change materials inside spherical capsules. The offset and the onset temperatures as well as the latent heat, are measured experimentally, while properties, such as density, specific heat, thermal conductivity, viscosity and thermal expansion...

The design of the Latent Heat Thermal Storage System (LHTESS) was developed with thermal capacity of about 100 kWh as a part of small solar plant, based on the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The phase change material (PCM) used is Solar salt with the melting/solidification temperature of about 220°C. Thermo-physical properties of the PCM were measure...

This work presents an experimental and numerical study of the melting and solidification processes of Solar Salt in a finned square metallic container with a constant heat flux source inside for the latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) for medium temperature applications. During the experiments the temperature of the PCM in several locations...
