A comparison between the Hajal et al. (2003) and Wojtan et al. (2005a) flow pattern maps which were proposed for flow boiling, was done by Garbai and Sánta (2012).The intermittent, annular, stratified wavy and stratified flow regimes are common to both flow pattern maps, whereas mist and slug flows are only present on the Wojtan et al. (2005a) map.

This review paper sets out the range of energy storage options for photovoltaics including both electrical and thermal energy storage systems. The integration of PV and energy storage in smart buildings and outlines the role of energy storage for PV in the context of future energy storage options.
Under light irradiation, the photocathode (or photoanode) absorbs light and generates electrons and holes. These photo-generated electrons and holes are then separated and transported to the anode and cathode sides of the Zn-based energy storage systems, respectively, and thereby achieving photo-charging by converting solar light into electricity.
Solar power storage systems, often referred to as solar battery storage, are designed to bridge the gap between energy generation and consumption. They store excess energy produced during the day when the sun is at its zenith and electricity generation is at its peak.
The cost and optimisation of PV can be reduced with the integration of load management and energy storage systems. This review paper sets out the range of energy storage options for photovoltaics including both electrical and thermal energy storage systems.
Solar energy can be stored primarily in two ways: thermal storage and battery storage. Thermal storage involves capturing and storing the sun's heat, while battery storage involves storing power generated by solar panels in batteries for later use. These methods enable the use of solar energy even when the sun is not shining.
Solar thermal energy storage systems absorb and collect heat from the sun's radiation. The heat is then stored in a thermal reservoir. Later, it can be converted and used as heat or electricity. Mechanical storage might not be as common, but it's certainly an emerging player in the field of energy storage.
