Increased global energy consumption results in the reduction in the availability of traditional energy resources, such as coal, oil and natural gas. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new systems development based on the conversion and storage of sustainable and clean energy. Phase change materials (PCMs) are one of the key components for the development of advanced sustainable solutions in renewable energy and engineering systems. In order to update the field of renewable energy and engineering systems with the use of PCMs, a Special Issue entitled “Phase Change Materials: Design and Applications” is introduced. This book gathers and reviews the collection of ten contributions (nine articles and one review), with authors from Europe, Asia and Americam accepted for publication in the aforementioned Special Issue of Applied Sciences.Phase Change MaterialsResearch & information: generalbicsscPhysicsbicsscphase change materialsthermal energy storageenergy efficiencybuilding applicationsconstruction materialsphase-change materialdispersionthermal-mechanical stabilityviscositysupercoolingnucleating agentcold storagebattery coolingLPMOFourier Transform ac Voltammetry (FTacV)cyclic voltammetryDirect Electron Transfer (DET)lathrate hydratetetrabutylammonium acrylate (TBAAc)crystal growthultrasonic vibrationpolyurethane elastomersmicroencapsulated PCMsthermal propertiesmechanical propertiesphase change materialsugar alcoholerythritollatent heat storagethermal stabilitydegradation kineticsPCMmini-channelsairmeltingsolidificationlatent heat thermal energy storagephase change materials (PCM)macro-encapsulationrectangular slabexperimental studysodium nitratethermal conductivitymicroencapsulationlatent heatmulticriteria decisionfinite elementautomotiveenergy storageResearch & information: generalPhysicsKartsonakis Ioannisedt1299438Kartsonakis IoannisothBOOK9910595080103321Phase Change Materials: Design and Applications3040837UNINA
