Abstract:: ... The thermal conductivity (λ) and thermal diffusivity (aT) of the solid/liquid phase change linear n-alkanes were measured simultaneously by the transient multi-current hot wire technique at atmospheric pressure in the range 258–348K. The same set-up was used to measure λ and aT of the liquid and the solid states at different electrical currents. Three n-alkanes, n-hexadecane (C16H34), n-octadecane ...

Abstract:: ... The use of microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) is one of the most efficient ways of storing thermal energy. When the microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) is dispersed into the carrier fluid, microencapsulated phase change slurry (MPCS) is prepared. Due to the relatively large surface area to volume MPCM and its large apparent specific heat during the phase change period, bet ...
