About this book

This book covers emerging energy storage technologies and material characterization methods along with various systems and applications in building, power generation systems and thermal management. The authors present options available for reducing the net energy consumption for heating/cooling, improving the thermal properties of the phase change materials and optimization methods for heat storage embedded multi-generation systems. An in-depth discussion on the natural convection-driven phase change is included. The book also discusses main energy storage options for thermal management practices in photovoltaics and phase change material applications that aim passive thermal control.

This book will appeal to researchers and professionals in the fields of mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, renewable energy, and thermodynamics. It can also be used as an ancillary text in upper-level undergraduate courses and graduate courses in these fields.

Chapter 1. Fundamental Aspects of Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
Abstract
The current chapter presents a comprehensive introductory material to provide the readers with the fundamental and basic concepts and details of thermodynamics and heat transfer. The balance equations for energy, mass, entropy, and exergy are developed for various types of closed and open systems. The key modes of conductive, convective and radiative heat transfer mechanisms are also introduced in brief and discussed for various energy storage applications. Furthermore, the chapter includes eight worked examples that are related with the applications of heat storage systems.

Chapter 7. System Characterization and Case Studies
Abstract
In this chapter, we deal with two important subjects for TES systems and applications, namely system characterization and case studies. In the system characterization, we focus on storage materials and their roles in specific applications while the focus is placed on various selected applications, under case studies, from numerous sectors at various capacities, ranging from micro- to large-scale applications.
