Hi El,
As per my understanding of the question, the thermophysical characteristics of the phase change material (PCM), such as its melting temperature, latent heat of fusion, specific heat, density, and thermal conductivity, must be defined in order to simulate the PCM on MATLAB as a thermal storage system. Determining the boundary conditions for the simulation is also necessary. Examples include the rate at which heat is transferred into and out of the PCM and the temperature of the surroundings.
I hope the given information helps resolve your query.
Thanks,
Muskan
