Phase Change Materials for Heat Transfer

Phase Change Materials for Heat Transfer

focuses on how to maximize the heat transfer rate and thermal storage capability of PCMs.

Various aspects are covered, including preparation of phase change materials to heat transfer enhancement and characteristics with an emphasis on prominent applications.

The book is designed in such a manner to cover the broad definitions, introduction, brief history, preparation techniques, thermophysical properties and heat transfer characteristics with mathematical models, performance-affecting factors and the applications and challenges of PCMs.

This handbook will prove invaluable to readers interested in a resource with the latest information in this emerging field.
