“…the storage tank in order to ensure the uniform flow across the packed bed. The storage tank with a volume capacity of 0.0793 m 3 and a packed bed height of 0.7 m was used for packing the storage materials in the storage tank. Taps were provided on the surface of the tank for measuring the pressure drop across the bed and also to take out the thermocouple wires from the storage for measuring the temperature variation along the length of the tank.…”

“…2 Among all the renewable sources, solar energy has attracted tremendous interest due to its abundance and availability in most parts of the world and it does not pollute the atmosphere. 3 However, intermittent existence and lower energy density are the main limitations of solar energy. 4 In order to increase the utilization of solar energy, continuous energy supply, and minimizing the gap between energy supply and demand, effective thermal energy storage (TES) for solar thermal energy systems is required.…”

“…In one study, a metal foam increased the heat transfer by a factor of four at the expense of reducing the storage capacity by 13% due to the high value of pore density [ 31 ]. Wang et al [ 32 ] experimentally studied the charging and discharging process of thermal storage systems containing copper foam and PCM. Mohammed et al [ 33 ] investigated the melting heat transfer in a metal foam with heat generation.…”

“…Phase change materials (PCMs) have high latent heat capacity, thus they can store and release a significantly high amount of energy during phase transition at specific temperature. Latent heat thermal energy storage technology with PCMs is a promising way to improve the utilization rate of renewable energy, and ease the contradiction between energy supply and demand 1–5 . PCMs have many application potentials, such as continuous use of solar energy, waste heat recovery and utilization, cooling of electronics, mobilized thermal energy storage 6–14 .…”
