Multi-scale analysis on thermal properties of cement-based materials containing micro-encapsulated phase change materials
The incorporation of phase change materials (PCMs) in building envelopes for passive thermal storage can enhance the thermal mass effect and thereby reduce energy consumption. In this investigation,...
Numerical analysis of phase change materials/wood–plastic composite roof module system for improving thermal performance
Using phase change materials (PCMs) to store and release latent heat is one of the most efficient and reliable ways to reduce energy consumption. In this study, a PCM/wood–plastic composite (WPC)...
Emerging paraffin/carbon-coated nanoscroll phase change material for thermal energy storage
Thermal energy storage using phase change materials is considered as a significant strategy for relieving the energy crisis. Herein an emerging paraffin-based composite form- stable phase change...
