“…The melting phase diagram for the different salt hydrate‐water system (Ba(OH) 2 ‐H 2 O, CaCl 2 ‐H 2 O, Ca(NO 3 ) 2 ‐H 2 O, Cd(NO 3 ) 2 ‐H 2 O, CH 3 COONa‐H 2 O, KF‐H 2 O, LiClO 3 ‐H 2 O, LiNO 3 ‐H 2 O, MgCl 2 ‐H 2 O, Mg(NO 3 ) 2 ‐H 2 O, Mn(NO 3 ) 2 ‐H 2 O, Na 2 CO 3 ‐H 2 O, Na 2 HPO 4 ‐H 2 O, NaOH‐H 2 O, Na 2 SO 4 ‐H 2 O, Na 2 S 2 O 3 ‐H 2 O, NH 4 Al(SO 4 ) 2 ‐H 2 O, and Zn(NO 3 ) 2 ‐H 2 O) along with their thermophysical properties (melting temperature, specific heat, thermal conductivity, density, the heat of fusion, and viscosity) in both phases were reported 32 . Region for all possible formation of hydrates of CaCl 2 and Zn(NO 3 ) 2 from its salt solution was reported from its melting phase diagram of CaCl 2 ‐H 2 O 32,33 and Zn(NO 3 ) 2 ‐H 2 O, 13,32 respectively. Different concentrations of saturated aqueous salt solutions can be used as PCM to get a wide phase change temperature range.…”
