Asymmetry in Heat Transfer and Phase Change Materials: A Review of Modeling, Simulation, and Applications in Energy Systems
Asymmetric heat transfer is an intrinsic and defining feature of phase change material (PCM) systems, arising from the nonlinear coupling between conduction, buoyancy-driven convection, interfacial motion, and geometric or operational non-uniformities. This review synthesizes the physical, numerical, and application-sp...
