... material (PCM). The purpose of the hybrid system is to store some of the latent heat of steam condensation during the turbine operation and reject it at night, in order to shift a share of the cooling work and exploit the high diurnal temperature range of desert areas. System’s energy and economic...

Numerical...

... heating and refrigeration applications, the experience for the power level and temperature range characteristic of solar process heat and solar thermal power plants is limited. Cost effective implementation of the latent heat storage concept demands low cost phase change materials (PCMs). These PCMs...

It is quite apparent that as the exergetic efficiency increases along increased ambient temperature in all cases and this is due to the fact that exergy stored in the PCM increases greatly with this increase in outdoor temperature. Although the exergy destroyed does...
