Phase-Change Materials in Concrete: Opportunities and Challenges for Sustainable Construction and Building Materials

Raju Sharma et al.

Summary: The use of phase-change materials (PCM) in concrete for clean energy storage shows promise, but the interaction between PCM and concrete has negative effects on mechanical and durability properties. This study focuses on PCM type, the effect of PCM on concrete properties, and the connection between PCM concrete composite and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The use of nanomaterials and supplementary cementitious materials can compensate for the reduction in strength of PCM-containing concrete to some extent.

Analysis of hybrid nanofluid and surface corrugation in the laminar convective flow through an encapsulated PCM filled vertical cylinder and POD-based modeling

Fatih Selimefendigil et al.

Summary: In this study, numerical simulations were used to investigate the performance assessment of a PCM filled three-dimensional vertical cylinder under the combined effects of surface corrugation and presence of binary nanoparticles in the heat transfer fluid. Results showed that thermal transport features are enhanced and charging time is reduced for higher values of Reynolds number and solid volume fraction of the binary mixture in the heat transfer fluid.

Pore-scale convection-conduction heat transfer and fluid flow in open-cell metal foams: A three-dimensional multiple-relaxation time lattice Boltzmann (MRT-LBM) solution

Parham Poureslami et al.

Summary: Simulation at the pore-scale level provides accurate and realistic models for flow and heat transfer properties in porous foams. Three foam models with different numbers of pores per inch were studied, revealing changes in flow complexity, velocity, permeability, and heat transfer coefficient with increasing PPI. The Nusselt number is also determined as a function of Reynolds number, showing significant variations between different pore densities.

Numerical investigation of the melting process in a half horizontal cylinder with radial fins

Hamid Reza Ashorynejad et al.

Summary: In this study, the melting phenomenon in a half horizontal cylinder cavity with rectangular heat sources was investigated using numerical lattice Boltzmann method. It was found that increasing the aspect ratio of the fins reduces melting time and increases liquid fraction, while higher Rayleigh number improves natural convection effect and melting rate. The highest melting rate was observed when two fins were positioned at 45 degrees with an aspect ratio of 7.5 at a Rayleigh number of 10^5.
