Opis

Electricity has helped in reducing physical efforts to a very large extent, but, the way in which it is produced is quite a matter of concern. Even today, most of the electricity that we use is produced through conventional methods. These conventional methods commonly use fossil fuels to produce electricity. Not only are these methods expensive, but also cause grave damage to the environment. The use of fuels for the generation of electricity results in increased costs and emissions of hazardous pollutants. The only alternative is a new method that is not only cheap and efficient, but also eco-friendly. The Solar is capable of satisfying both these requirements. In addition to being eco-friendly, it is also relatively cheaper when compared to the conventional methods of electricity generation. PCM Materials stores heat energy in the form of Latent heat while it transforms from solid state to liquid state. So, it's also known as latent heat storage material. Our Objective is Thermal Analysis of PCB materials for Improvement in waste heat recovery from the solar panels. In this analysis Latent heat storage capacity of different materials are analyzed.
