Thermo-elastic model for the prediction of thermodynamic properties of high temperature phase change materials under confinement: Isobaric and isochoric regimes

Thermal energy storage through encapsulation of phase change materials is critical for the efficient usage of renewable energy. In this paper, a model is proposed to include thermal and pressure induced density changes in a confined phase change material. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the l...
