Latent Heat Storage Materials and Systems: A Review (2005, background): “Tan et al. (2004) conducted an experimental study on the cooling of mobile electronic devices, such as personal digital assistants (PDAs) and wearable computers, using a heat storage unit (HSU) filled with the phase change material (PCM) of n-eicosane inside the device.”
Nano-enhanced phase change material for thermal management of BICPV (2017, background): “Examples of passive cooling of PV using micro-channels [45], micro fins [46] and with PCM [44] are commonplace and are discussed in the subsequent sections.”
Experimental and numerical study on phase change material (PCM) for thermal management of mobile devices (2016, background): “carried out a series of experiments using heat storage unit (HSU) 65 and heat sink filled with PCM and clarified the effect of heat distribution [8], number of fins in the 66 heat sink [1,6], the power levels [6], and steady and transient state heating conditions [1].”
Phase-change heat transfer of single/hybrid nanoparticles-enhanced phase-change materials over a heated horizontal cylinder confined in a square cavity (2017, background): “The phase-change materials are now widely used in a variety of applications such as cooling of electronic devices [5] in various fields of thermal management of high power electronics [6], cooling of mobile electronic devices [7], cooling enhanced by heat pipes [8].”
