Thermodynamic properties and interactions of salt hydrates used as phase change materials

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6758140
The state-of-the-art of salt hydrates as phase change materials for low temperature thermal energy storage is reviewed with the objective of recommending research that would result in more practicable use of these materials. Areas for review included phase equilibria, nucleation behavior and melting kinetics of the commonly used hydrates.
