Then, the thermophysical characteristics of the MEPCM suspension including the thermal conductivitykmand viscosityµmhave been measured at different particle concentration (2, 5 and 10 wt%) and different temperatures from 25 to 50 °C. New correlations are developed to predict the ...
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...
PCM is the key function in the latent heat storage system, and it stores or releases heat in latent heat during a constant-temperature process like phase change (solid-solid, solid-liquid, liquid-gas, etc.) [23]. PCMs are widely used in various applications due to there are various phase...
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...
This 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 diameters of 2mm, 3mm and...
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 ...

PCMThermal energy storageThis study deals with preparation, characterization, thermal properties and thermal reliability of n-eicosane microcapsules as novel phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage. The microcapsulated PCMs were prepared by coating n-eicosane with polymethylmethacrylate (...
PCMthermal storageThis paper investigates numerically the melting of n-eicosane inside horizontal cylinders. The cylinders are embedded in a storage tank where hot air flows parallel to the cylinders during the charging process. The 2D mathematical model is based on the enthalpy-porosity method. To...
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 ...
