Phase Change Materials-Assisted Heat Flux Reduction: Experiment and Numerical Analysis

Abstract: Phase change materials (PCM) in the construction industry became attractive because of several interesting attributes, such as thermo-physical parameters, open air atmospheric condition usage, cost and the duty structure requirement. Thermal performance optimization of PCMs in terms of proficient storage of a large amount of heat or cold in a finite volume remains a challenging task. Implementation of PCMs in buildings to achieve thermal comfort for a specific climatic condition in Iraq is our main focus. From… Show more

“…In order to determine the thermal response of energy storage in the PCM layer, it is important to analyse two processes: (i) the heat and energy transfer between the PCM layer and other roof layers (ii) heat and energy transfer within the PCM layer. Heat and energy transfer between the PCM and other roof materials can be evaluated by the heat transfer coefficient obtained by various correlations [17][18][19]. In the PCM layer processes of solidification and melting occur during the night and day on In order to determine the thermal response of energy storage in the PCM layer, it is important to analyse two processes: (i) the heat and energy transfer between the PCM layer and other roof layers (ii) heat and energy transfer within the PCM layer.…”
