Abstract

Accelerated thermal cycle tests for melt/freeze cycles of urea were conducted. Urea has shown a very high degradation in its latent heat and melting point within the first few cycles and did not melt after a few cycles. It is recommended that urea should not be used as a latent heat storage material. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
