Heat and cold storage with PCM An up to date introduction into basic
Latent heat storage with phase change materials (PCM) has the potential to improve significantly the efficiency of heat and cold storages and to reduce their size considerably. The book is an introduction into the field for researchers and students. It su

Because of the frequent use of h as enthalpy, it would be confusing using also h as convective heat transfer coefficient. To avoid confusion, a different notation described in the following table is used throughout the book to describe heat transfer. Generally, the heat flux dQ/dt and the heat flux density dq/dt are related by dQ/dt = A ⋅ dq/dt. Table 10.2. Notation for heat transfer. effect
