Design improvement of a laboratory prototype for efficiency evaluation of solar thermal water heating system using phase change material (PCMs)

Thermal energy in the solar thermal energy storage system cannot be stored for a long time during the evening hours as well as days that have minimal sunlight due to heat transfer to the surrounding atmosphere. PCMs are being implemented into these storage systems to enhance the thermal storage capa...
