Evaluation Of The Transient Thermal Performance Of A Graphite Foam/Phase Change Material Composite, Michael Paul Trammell
Evaluation Of The Transient Thermal Performance Of A Graphite Foam/Phase Change Material Composite, Michael Paul Trammell
Masters Theses
The thermal transient response of graphite foam infiltrated with paraffin wax as a thermal protection composite was investigated. Graphite foam is a rigid open-celled porous carbon material that exhibits high thermal conductivity along the ligaments. To increase the ability of graphite foam to store heat energy, it was infiltrated with a phase change material, paraffin wax. Filling the foam with a phase change material (PCM) creates a composite that transfers heat through an interconnected network of ligaments to a large surface area of PCM for absorption. Foams were made at various pressures to understand the effect of porosity, which also …

Age Hardening Of Copper-Aluminum Alloy Castings, Frank Randall
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Age hardening occurs in alloys of the solid solution type containing a hardening constituent, be it metal or metallic compound, which is more soluble in the solvent phase at higher temperatures than at lower ones.
