Thermal expansion effects on the one-dimensional liquid-solid phase transition in high temperature phase change materials

Heat transfer characteristics of phase change materials (PCMs), such as the absorbed sensible and latent heat, during melting of the solid phase at constant pressure are analyzed. A model is proposed, where thermal dilation is incorporated by applying total mass conservation to materials with temper...
