Melting front propagation in a paraffin-based phase change material: Lab-scale experiment and simulations

The paper reports experimental and numerical investigation of the melting front propagation in a paraffin-based phase change material (PCM). The investigated case was a block of PCM with a heat flux introduced at one of its sides. The PCM block was contained in a transparent container and thus the p...
