The results showed that the thermal conductivity of the composite PCM was distinctly enhanced, whereas natural convection was hampered because the paraffin was confined in the porous structure of the EG. The time-durations of the charging and discharging processes with different flow rates for heat storage/retrieval were discussed. The time-duration of composite PCM during the discharging process was reduced more than that during the charging process, and the charging and discharging rates could be improved significantly with the higher flow rate. The charging process of the LTES system was numerically investigated with enthalpy method, which was verified by the experimental resul
