In order to explore the heat storage properties of phase change paraffin, a calculation model for melting paraffin was established based on equivalent capacity method. A finite element software (COMSOL) used study influence different inclination angles paraffin. The results show that process is determined by conduction and natural convection transfer, transfer plays significant role in Phase ex...

In this work, a series of novel paraffin inhibitor, polyaminoamide (PAA), was designed and prepared by aminolysis and poly-condensation using soybean oil and canola oil as the raw material. The property of the PAAs as paraffin inhibitor was investigated, the results show several PAA samples are potent in paraffin inhibition, and PPC-2 is the most effective one. Besides, the paraffin crystal mor...

The article deals with the process of “waxing” pipes and choice effective measures to prevent these negative phenomena. To assess nature asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits (ARPD) select a further investigation scheme, X-ray Spectral analysis was used. It is shown, that ARPD complex system structured by resinous-asphaltene substances paraffin-naphthenic or paraffin-aromatic hydrocarbons.Mass transf...

The low thermal conductivity of phase change material (PCM) leads to low heat storage/retrieval rates. The expanded graphite (EG) was used to enhance the thermal conductivity. EG/paraffin composite with the 7% mass fraction of EG was prepared as a good candidate for the latent thermal energy storage (LTES) system. A shell and tube LTES system built for room heating and hot water supply in a fam...

OBJECTIVE To explore what individuals at risk of injury from using paraffin (also known as kerosene) know about paraffin safety, what they do to protect themselves and their families from paraffin-related injury, and how they perceive their risk for such injury. Also, to explore interrelations between these factors and age, sex, education and income. METHODS A sample of 238 individuals was ra...
