Selection and performance evaluation of waste and by-product materials for thermal storage applications

Abstract Recycled materials and by-products could help solve the waste crisis support circular economy. The aim of this study was to compare performance potentially available wastes in Morocco local rock Gneiss, for use sensible heat thermal energy storage. A transfer model developed undertake benchmark, a control volume approach an implicit scheme have been used modelling equations. concludes that Gneiss followed by asbestos-containing ceramics presented fastest charging rates elevated exergy efficiencies, while demolition showed highest amount recovered during longer periods charge discharge.
