Energy Accumulation Using Encapsulated Phase Change Materials with Recycled Material Components

Effect of Using Nano Encapsulated Phase Change Material on Thermal Performance of Micro Heat Sink

The aim of this paper is to enhance thermal performance of a microchannel heat sink by using nanoencapsulated phase change material (NEPCM) slurry as a cooling fluid instead of pure fluid. A threedimensional model of a circular channel using water slurry of NEPCM was developed. The results show a significant reduction in the mean fluid temperature along the channel and heat sink wall temperatu...

Fiber reinforced plastic composites using recycled materials

This work investigates the feasibility of using recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE), recycled polypropylene (rPP) and old newsprint fiber (ONP) to manufacture fiber reinforced composites. The boards were made through air-forming and hot press. The effects of the fiber loading and coupling agent content on tensile, flexural, internal bond properties and water absorption and thickness swel...

Solidfication of Phase Change Materials Encapsulated in Vertical Tubes

Solidification of phase change materials encapsulated in a vertical shell which contains also the heat transfer fluid tubes is studied using a fixed grid numerical model. The solution of the system consists of adopting a velocity field of a complete developed flow coupled with the energy equations of the heat transfer fluid (HTF), the pipe wall and the phase change material (PCM). The control v...
