The importance of the thermophysical characterization of microencapsulated PCMs for the numerical analysis of the heat transfer with solid-liquid phase change

This work presents the development of two-dimensional numerical models based on the “additional heat source” and the “effective heat capacity” methods to simulate the thermal behaviour of a microencapsulated phase change material (PCM) - Micronal® DS 5001 X. A purely diffusive, transient model was u...
