Thermal Characterization Of Phase Change Materials For Thermal Energy Storage, Rami Mohammad Reda Saeed Jan 2016

Thermal Characterization Of Phase Change Materials For Thermal Energy Storage, Rami Mohammad Reda Saeed

Masters Theses

"The study provides a valuable and useful database for Phase Change Materials (PCMs) for Thermal Energy Storage (TES) applications. Only a few existing studies have provided an overall investigation of thermophysical properties of PCMs in this detailed manner. Several organic PCMs, namely Myristic acid, Capric Acid, Lauryl Alcohol, Palmitic acid and Lauric acid, have been characterized after being carefully selected to cover wide range of TES applications. Insights and information gained from this work will be applied toward the design and modelling of many low temperature thermal energy storage applications. The study experimentally investigated uncertainty of thermal characterization of PCMs …
