A new experimental device and inverse method to characterize thermal properties of composite phase change materials
(
Elsevier BV
, 2015 , Article)
A new experimental device has been developed in order to characterize the phase change material (PCM) thermal properties (thermal conductivity k, sensible and latent heat thermal energy storage, cp and Lf) in the solid ...
Mechanical and thermal characterisation of multifunctional composites incorporating phase change materials
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The paper reports an experimental investigation on the mechanical and thermal properties of multifunctional composite laminates integrated with microencapsulated phase change materials. The different microstructures were ...
Improved mechanical properties of recycled linear low-density polyethylene composites filled with date palm wood powder
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Recycled linear low-density polyethylene (RLLDPE) was blended with date palm wood powder to prepare composites in which the concentration of the filler ranged from 10 to 70wt.%. The cross-linking of composites was performed ...
Improvement of thermal conductivity of paraffin by adding expanded graphite
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This paper investigated the use of graphite with different configuration designs to improve the thermal energy storage of phase change material systems. Two types of graphite have been combined with paraffin in order to ...
