Phase transition is a natural phenomenon happened around our daily life, represented by the process from ice to water. While melting and solidifying at a certain temperature, a high heat of fusion is accompanied, classified as the latent heat. Phase change material (PCM) has been widely applied to store and release large amount of energy attributed to the distinctive thermal behavior. Here, wit...

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...

The incorporation of phase change materials (PCM) in buildings has the potential to enhance thermal efficiency buildings, reduce energy cost, shift peak load, and eventually air pollution mitigate global warming. However, initial capital cost PCM is still high, thus establishment a control strategy become essential optimize its use an effort lower investment costs. In this paper, extensive revi...

An integrated solar heating system with a new type of phase change material (PCM), collectors and test building were developed. The exothermal endothermal behaviors the PCM determined, stability comfort researched. was operated on for one period, temperature rooms, outdoors, contrast rooms recorded collected by data acquisition system. indicated that could produce continuity; average using 4.6 ...

The mobilized thermal energy storage system (M-TES) has been demonstrated as a promising technology to supply heat using waste heat in industries to distributed users, where heat discharging determines whether M-TES system can satisfy the required heating rate. The objective of this work is to investigate the solidification mechanism of phase change materials (PCM) for heat discharging in a dir...

INTRODUCTION Lornoxicam (LORN) a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug of oxicam class is marketed in combination with Paracetamol, a common analgesic for acute inflammatory disease of joints. MATERIALS AND METHODS LORN and Paracetamol (PCM) were estimated at 280 nm by densitometry using silica gel 60 F254 as stationary phase and a premix of toluene: chloroform: methanol: formic acid (3:5:1.5:0....

The application of thermal energy storage with phase change materials (PCMs) for energy efficiency of buildings grew rapidly in the last few years. In this research, octadecane paraffin was served as a PCM, and a structural concrete with the function of indoor temperature control was developed by using a macro-encapsulated PCM hollow steel ball (HSB). The macro-encapsulated PCM-HSB was prepared...

The thermal safety problem of lithium-ion batteries (LIB) in use requires an excellent management system to preserve it. In the paper, expansion flame-retardant composed APP and CFA kaolinite is used enhance property phase change materials (PCM). performances PCM their LIB were studied. results indicate that can improve long-term thermostability PCM. addition flame retardant make reach V0 level...

This paper presents experimental results that can be applied to select a possible phase change material (PCM), such as a latent heat material (LHM), to control the hydration heat in mass concrete structures. Five experimental tests (microconduction, simplified adiabatic temperature rise, heat, and compressive strength tests) were conducted to select the most desirable LHM out of seven types of ...
