    • Effective thermal conductivity for melting in PCM encapsulated in a sphere 

      Nasrul Amri, Mohd Amin, Dr.; Bruno, Frank, Dr.; Belusko, Martin (Elsevier Ltd., 2014-06)
      Heat transfer in phase change materials (PCMs) contained in spherical encapsulations can be modelled more simply if an effective thermal conductivity can be determined to represent the natural convection occurring within ...
    • Effectiveness–NTU correlation for low temperature PCM encapsulated in spheres 

      Nasrul Amri, Mohd Amin; Bruno, Frank, Dr.; Belusko, Martin (Elsevier Ltd., 2012-05)
      The applicability of the effectiveness–NTU method for characterising a PCM thermal energy storage system was experimentally investigated. The system consisted of PCM encapsulated in spheres with a liquid heat transfer ...
    • Experimental investigation of PCM spheres in thermal energy storage system 

      Nasrul Amri, Mohd Amin, Dr.; Azizul, Mohamad; Mohd Shukry, Abdul Majid, Dr.; Mohd Afendi, Rojan, Dr.; Bruno, Frank, Dr.; Belusko, Martin (Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
      This paper presents the experimental result of a small scale packed bed of random spheres with encapsulated PCM being charged and discharged. A vapor compression refrigerator and heated room with fan heater were used to ...
    • Investigation of conducting pins in sphere filled with phase change material for enhancing heat transfer in thermal energy storage 

      Nasrul Amri, Mohd Amin; Bruno, Frank, Dr.; Belusko, Martin (Trans Tech Publications., 2012)
      The utilisation of phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage (TES) can significantly enhance the energy savings achievable with renewable thermal systems. Sphere based packed bed systems have been used as TES ...
    • Maximizing the energy storage performance of phase change thermal storage systems 

      Nasrul Amri, Mohd Amin, Dr.; Bruno, Frank; Belusko, Martin (ACTA Press, 2009-03)
      Phase Change Material (PCM) is considered as a good Thermal Energy Storage (TES) material as it can provide much higher energy storage densities compared to conventional sensible thermal storage materials. An extensive ...
    • Optimisation of a phase change thermal storage system 

      Nasrul Amri, Mohd Amin, Dr.; Belusko, Martin; Bruno, Frank (World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology (WASET), 2009-10)
      PCMs have always been viewed as a suitable candidate for off peak thermal storage, particularly for refrigeration systems, due to the high latent energy densities of these materials. However, due to the need to have them ...
    • Optimising PCM thermal storage systems for maximum energy storage effectiveness 

      Nasrul Amri, Mohd Amin; Belusko, Martin; Bruno, Frank; Liu, Ming (Elsevier Ltd., 2012-09)
      A new performance parameter for PCM thermal storage systems, the energy storage effectiveness, is defined. This parameter can be used to optimise the design of any PCM thermal storage system to maximise the use of the ...
