Process investigations on the use of waste plastic as thermal energy storage material

Abstract The general thermal energy storage solutions for superior performance have been experimentally investigated. Special emphases are put on the sensible thermal storage advancements. In this work, waste plastic was used as a thermal energy storage material. It was analyzed under different conditions of mass rate of flow along with temperature. With higher rate of flow the time gets reduced during charging process. While in the discharging case, lower mass flow rate is found to be efficient.
