Small thermal energy storage units filled with microencapsulated PCMs for building applications

Phase change materials (PCMs) can be used in buildings for thermal management and thermal energy storage purposes. This paper experimentally evaluates the heat transfer with conduction dominated solid-liquid phase-change through small thermal energy storage (TES) units with horizontal metallic fins...
