A Study of Thermal Energy Storage of Phase Change Materials: Thermophysical Properties and Numerical Simulations

Abstract

Professor Sung Yi, who has always been a tremendous mentor. Without his guidance and support, I would not have completed my doctoral degree. I am grateful for his wonderful support, very encouraging words, and intensive scrutiny throughout many years to make my dissertation presentable. He has given me unforgettable memories of his patience, intelligence, and erudition. In addition, I would like to thank my other committee members, Professor Chien Wern, Professor Faryar Etesami, and Professor Raj Solanki for their deeply insightful comments, suggestions, and valuable feedback. I would also like to thank previous advisors, Chang-Woo Lee and Jun-Ki Kim at KITECH. Without their teaching, this degree would not have been possible. Also, I would like to thank my friends,
