Assessing the Potentiality of Animal Fat Based-Bio Phase Change Materials (PCM) for Building Applications: An Innovative Multipurpose Thermal Investigation
(MDPI, 2019)In recent years, the implementation of novel solutions aimed at improving thermal energy storage (TES) capability to both energy technologies and building-integrated systems has gained increasing attention. In particular, ... -
Characterization of granular phase change materials for thermal energy storage applications in fluidized beds
(Elsevier, 2016)This work investigates commercially available granular phase change materials (PCMs) with different transition temperatures for the use of thermal-energy storage systems in fluidized beds. The hydrodynamic characteristics ... -
Experimental validation of the exact analytical solution to the steady periodic heat transfer problem in a PCM layer
(Elsevier, 2017)Phase change materials (PCM) are used in many industrial and residential applications for their advantageous characteristic of high capacity of latent thermal storage by means of an isothermal process. In this context, it ... -
Palm oil-based bio-PCM for energy efficient building applications: Multipurpose thermal investigation and life cycle assessment
(Elsevier, 2020)This study aims at investigating the potential use of a bio-based phase change material, i.e. expired palm oil from the food industry, as a more sustainable alternative to petrochemical-based organic PCMs. To this purpose, ...
