  Comparative Analysis of 3D-Printed and Molded Shape-Stabilized Phase Change Composites

  By Deepak Kumar Yadav, Pushpendra Kumar Singh Rathore, Rajeev Kumar Singh, Arvind Kumar Gupta, Basant Singh Sikarwar

  Abstract: Thermal energy storage (TES) has become essential for efficiently storing and utilizing thermal energy across applications like industrial heating, power plants, batteries, medical devices, food preservation, and aerospace technology. Because of their high energy density, affordability, and environmental friendliness, phase change materials, or PCMs, are employed extensively. However, challenges like poor thermal conductivity and leakage limit their performance. To address these issues, 3D printing has emerged as a powerful tool …

  Numerical simulation and Artificial neural network illustration of phase-change material integrated into lattice structures printed in 3D

  By Deepak Kumar Yadav, Rajeev Kumar Singh, Arvind Kumar Gupta, Pushpendra Kumar Singh Rathore, Basant Singh Sikarwar

  Abstract: This work examines the phase change material (P.C.M.) deposited in various lattice formations—such as “S.C., B.C.C., and F.C.C”.—at varied characteristics. The test concentrates on comprehending heat transport properties and thermal activity throughout the “melting and solidification processes”. The heater's maximum temperature, P.C.M. “melting and solidification”, and Nusselt number are among the essential factors examined. According to the findings, the heater's maximum temperature drops as porosity increases. Although the Nusselt values …
