Structure optimization of a phase change material integrated solar air collector/storage unit based upon phase change analysis

A phase change material (PCM) integrated solar air collector/storage unit (SACSU) for mid-temperature applications was proposed in the study. The composite PCM with expanded graphite (EG) in mass fraction of 3% was prepared to enhance the thermal conductivity. Firstly, an experiment was performed to...
