Microencapsulation of Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage in Building Application
This paper presents an investigation on microencapsulation of paraffin as a phase change materials (PCMs) for application in buildings. Encapsulated PCM particles were prepared by suspension-like polymerization technique. The effect of surfactant concentration and mass ratio of PCM to monomer on the final characteristics and performance of the microcapsules were investigated. The distribution o...
متن کاملThermal Transport in Phase Change Memory Materials
Phase change memory uses brief pulses of electrical current to induce phase transitions in chalcogenide material regions with dimensions near or even far below 50 nm. The strongly differing electrical conductivities of the crystalline and amorphous phases allow data storage at densities in excess of terabits per square inch. Nanoscale conduction heat transfer governs the figures of merit in the...
متن کاملThermal Management Using “ Dry ” Phase Change Materials
The thermal response characteristic of a hybrid cooler that is charged with a “dry” solid-solid phase change compound is evaluated. A mathematical model that simulates the performance of a cooler/heat storage unit is formulated. A prototype heat sink that incorporates heat storage using a “dry” PCM is tested, and used to benchmark the simulation model. Different heating and cooling strategies a...
متن کاملImprovement of thermal performance of a solar chimney based on a passive solar heating system with phase-change materials
Passive solar systems such as solar chimneys need solar radiation in order to work. Therefore, they cannot present stable natural ventilation when solar energy vanishes: to have a more robust and stable condition, solar energy should be stored during the day and released back during the night. Phase change materials can save additional thermal energy during the day and release it during the nig...
متن کاملNumerical study of heat gradient and crossing energy to around building walls containing phase change materials in Kashan temperature conditions
The application of phase change materials (PCM) in the variant parts of building because of the high capacity these materials, lead to an improvement in temperature conditions and reduction in energy consumption. Due to the high dependency of the performance of these materials to the ambient temperature fluctuations, their applications in climates with extreme temperature fluctuations has a sig...
