Enhancing thermal performance of phase change materials using conductive rods with length dependent melting dynamics

Abstract Phase change materials (PCMs) suffer from slow melting rates due to their low thermal conductivity, limiting their efficiency in thermal energy storage systems. This study numerically investigates the novel use of copper rods as conductive enhancers to accelerate PCM melting in a horizontal...
