Topology-Optimized Latent Heat Battery: Benchmarking Against a High-Performance Geometry

This study presents a topology optimization approach to enhance the discharging performance of a latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) system using paraffin wax as the phase-change material (PCM) and a high-conductivity aluminium structure. Solidification is primarily governed by conduction, an...
