A new way to store solar heat
MIT engineers have developed a new material that can store solar energy during the day and release it later as heat, whenever it''s needed. The transparent polymer film could be applied to many different surfaces,
Low-Temperature Applications of Phase Change
The thermal energy storage strategies may be classified into three major groups. They are (a) sensible heat storage, (b) thermochemical heat storage, and (c) latent heat storage. Sensible heat storage is the simplest way
