- Analysis of a latent thermocline storage system with encapsulated phase change materials for concentrating solar power (2014, background): “consists of four zones as also reported in [10]: (1) a constant low-temperature zone (hf = 0) near the bottom of the tank (z = 1), (2) a constant high-temperature zone (hf = 1) which prevails near the top of the tank (z = 0), (3) a constant melt-temperature zone (hf = hm) and (4) two intermediate he”
- A review on experience feedback and numerical modeling of packed-bed thermal energy storage systems (2017, background): “Since thermocline thickness increases more slowly than the tank height (at fixed solid filler size), a large height-to-diameter ratio improves stratification and efficiency (Cascetta et al., 2015; Pacheco et al., 2002; Yang and Garimella, 2010b).”
