This paper examines selecting the most suitable materials for Sensible Energy Storage (SES) in Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems. We focus on two key materials: graphite and magnesia (magnesium oxide). Graphite, with its remarkable ability to withstand high temperatures of up to 3500 degrees Celsius, is chosen as the SES material despite its relatively higher cost. Meanwhile, magnesia serves as a crucial thermal insulator for the SES material, enhancing heat storage effectiveness, particularly in scenarios where high-temperature heat storage materials are subject to heat exchange processes. To aid in material selection, Computational Energy Storage (CES) software systems and experimental calculations are proposed for their comprehensive analysis and evaluation of SES materials. Through these methods, optimal materials can be identified, ensuring efficient and reliable Sensible Energy Storage in Thermal Energy Storage systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Electro-magneto-hydrodynamic flow of non-Newtonian fluid (blood) suspended with magnetic particles (erythrocytes) through tapered stenosed inclined artery is explored in this study. The fluid is influenced by a pulsatile constant pressure gradient and an inclined magnetic field. Governing partial differential momentum equations are solved and the fluid and particles axial velocity formula is derived in the analytical form. Further, closed form expressions are obtained for wall shear stress, flow resistance and volumetric flow rate. Graphical analysis of various physiological dynamics against embedded parameters is developed by MATLAB coding. Effects of pertinent parameters are examined and results are discussed. It is noted that both fluid and particle velocity profiles are reduced with increasing values of Hartmann number. In contrast, the electrokinetic number increases the velocities of the fluid and particle. Thus, the fluidic flow can be regulated by applying strong and adequate electromagnetic field which plays a vital role in diagnosing cardio vascular diseases and the respective medical care.
