Preliminary investigation of thermal behaviour of PCM based latent heat thermal energy storage

investigation of thermal comfort properties of woven sport fabric using blend of estabragh fibers

امروزه لباس در نظر ورزشکاران و کسانی که برای اوقات فراغت خود و یا برای رسیدن به اندامی متعادل، ورزش می کنند؛ بسیار با اهمیت است. احساس مطلوب از لباس در زمره خصوصیات راحتی پوشش می باشد. خصوصیات انتقال رطوبت لباس، در ارزیابی راحتی حسی و حرارتی منسوجات تولید شده از آن ها بسیار مهم است. هدف از این تحقیق، معرفی پارچه جدید است که متشکل از الیاف استبرق با خواص منحصر به فرد می باشد. استبرق لیف طبیعی تو...

Thermophysical Characterization of MgCl2·6H2O, Xylitol and Erythritol as Phase Change Materials (PCM) for Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage (LHTES)

The application range of existing real scale mobile thermal storage units with phase change materials (PCM) is restricted by the low phase change temperature of 58 ∘ C for sodium acetate trihydrate, which is a commonly used storage material. Therefore, only low temperature heat sinks like swimming pools or greenhouses can be supplied. With increasing phase change temperatures, more applications...

Effect of nanoparticles on heat capacity of nanofluids based on molten salts as PCM for thermal energy storage

In this study, different nanofluids with phase change behavior were developed by mixing a molten salt base fluid (selected as phase change material) with nanoparticles using the direct-synthesis method. The thermal properties of the nanofluids obtained were investigated. These nanofluids can be used in concentrating solar plants with a reduction of storage material if an improvement in the spec...

Thermal energy storage – overview and specific insight into nitrate salts for sensible and latent heat storage

Thermal energy storage (TES) is capable to reduce the demand of conventional energy sources for two reasons: First, they prevent the mismatch between the energy supply and the power demand when generating electricity from renewable energy sources. Second, utilization of waste heat in industrial processes by thermal energy storage reduces the final energy consumption. This review focuses mainly ...
