Heat Transfer Performance Potential with a High-Temperature Phase Change Dispersion

Phase change dispersions are useful for isothermal cooling applications. As a result of the phase changes that occur in PCDs, they expected to have greater storage capacities than those single-phase heat transfer fluids. However, appropriate exchanger dimensions and geometries use dispersions, knowledge about convective coefficients is necessary. A test unit measuring local Nusselt numbers PCDs was created. The boundary condition constant flux chosen testing, experimental investigated dispersion were established. Different parameters, such as electrical wall input, Reynolds number, mass flow rate, varied during results compared water tests. It found that, due tendency low-temperature increases driving temperature difference water. In addition, larger obtained Through this experimentation, it acknowledged future investigation into optimised operating conditions must be performed.
