Tech News 1: Toward idealized thermal stratification in a novel phase change emulsion storage tank

[bob_turner]

Materials Scientists have shown how phase change materials can improve the energy density in thermal energy storage, although with limits relative to low charging/discharging speeds. In a new report now published in Elsevier's Applied Energy, Haobin Liang, Liu Liu and a team of scientists headed by Yixiang Gan and JianLei Niu in energy engineering and civil engineering at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, and the University of Sydney, Australia, presented a new stratified phase change...
