Abstract
This review focuses on the application of Second Law techniques to the optimal design and operation of latent heat thermal energy storage systems. The need for thermal energy storage systems, the advisability of employing concepts based on the Second Law of thermodynamics to optimize such systems and the application of Second Law concepts to sensible heat systems are discussed in a companion paper [1]. As shown in Figure 1, Hahne [2] classifies latent heat thermal energy storage systems as systems based on: (1) a phase change of the storage material, (2) the heat of reaction in a reversible chemical reaction, or (3) the heat of adsorption/desorption. The emphasis in the present work will be on phase change systems, although the literature on the Second Law analysis of thermochemical and adsorption/desorption systems is briefly discussed.
