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 ...
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 ...

Thermal characterization of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) based on linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), paraffin wax (W) and expanded graphite (EG) is reported in this paper. Investigated PCMs showed high potential for ...
Heat transfer performance of paraffin wax based phase change materials applicable in building industry
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Thermal characterization of phase change materials (PCMs) compose of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), paraffin wax (W) with a melting point of 25 °C, and expanded graphite (EG), that are highly effective in thermal ...
Thermophysical properties of multifunctional glass fibre reinforced polymer composites incorporating phase change materials
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
In this study novel multifunctional composites consisting of glass fibre/epoxy/microencapsulated phase change materials (micro-PCMs) were prepared and their thermophysical properties have been investigated. Test results ...
