Abstract
ABSTRACT The ever-increasing energy demands and rising global temperature make alternate energy technologies an attractive research area. Solar energy is the most clean and abundant energy source available for energy harvesting. Phase change materials (PCMs) are promising materials for solar energy storage applications. PCMs have gained considerable attention among researchers in the last few years due to their unique properties in controlling temperature, energy storage and management. Among the various PCMs, paraffin wax is the most widely used material as it possesses flexible melting point, large latent heat and is non-toxic and non-corrosive in nature. This paper focuses on the charging and discharging time of paraffin wax in different storage containers (square and cylinder).
