PCM microcapsules containing n-eicosane were prepared by complex coacervation of silk fibroin (SF) and chitosan (CHI). Chemical characterization of microcapsules was carried out using Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Thermal properties and thermal stability of microencapsulated n-eicosan...
In this study, EG was used as a matrix to support n-eicosane (C20) via vacuum impregnation for preparing form-stable composite PCM. The key point of our work is exploring a high potential candidate with outstanding thermal performance and excellent electro-to-heat energy conversion for building...
As compare to the pure n-Eicosane PCM, thermal conductivity of n-Eicosane(C20)/ Expanded Graphite(EG) composite phase change material ( CPCM) may increase up to 2 to 3 times by the weight percentage of Expanded graphite added to the n-Eicosane. Index Terms n-Eicosane(C20), Expanded...
Activity coefficients of cycloalkanes in n-alkane solutions using gas-liquid chromatography The activity coefficients at infinite dilution for cyclopentane and cycloheptane in solvents n-hexadecane, n-octadecane, n-eicosane, n-tetracosane, n-octacosane, and n-dotriacontane have been determined at ...
n-EicosaneHeat sinksThis experimental work investigates the combination of phase change material (PCM) with thermal storage units to combat excessive heat generation in high application hand-held conveniences. Four heat sink configurations including a no fin and three pin-fin arrays having pin ...

In order to improve the functionality of the PCM in latent thermal storage applications, a magnetic material, Fe3O4, was mixed with n-eicosane and a shape-stable phase change microcapsule with a silica shell was successfully prepared. In this study, we loaded Cu metal nanoparticles on the ...
An in-depth numerical analysis was conducted on a horizontal annular shell-and-tube-type LTES system with an n-eicosane PCM for both outward and inward phase changes. The analysis included HTE methods corresponding to five parameters (with three levels for each): wall temperature, initial tempe...
The development of a new composite phase change material (PCM) was accomplished by using n-eicosane, which was belonging to the paraffins. For this goal, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN)-loaded macroporous foams were synthesized by emulsion-templating method. The resulting foams were used as ...
