Next Generation Thermal Energy Storage Using Composite Materials, Residential Water Heating Application
In this study, researchers designed a thermal energy storage system using phase-change composite materials and evaluated the storage capacity at different operating conditions for a residential water heater application. They also compared the economics of the storage system with that of a residential hot water storage tank.
