Development of paraffin wax as phase change material based latent heat storage in heat exchanger
Applied Thermal Engineering, 2019Energy storage mechanisms enhance the energy efficiency of systems by decreasing the difference between source and demand. For this reason, phase change materials are particularly attractive because of their ability to provide high energy storage density

Latent heat storage using renewable saturated diesters as phase change materials
Energy, 2016A series of phase change materials produced primarily from non-toxic renewable vegetable oil derivatives are described. It is shown that the synthesis of the materials from commercially available fatty acid methyl esters and short-chain dialcohols is rapid and effective. The phase change temperatures of these materials can be predictively varied, while

Latent heat of fusion prediction for nanofluid based phase change material
Applied Thermal Engineering, 2018Abstract This paper presents a study on the effect of mass fraction of nanoparticles, cooling rates and prediction of latent heat of fusion for Barium Chloride Dehydrate solutions (BaCl2·2H2O) by separately adding a mass fraction of 0.2 wt%–1 wt% magnesium oxide (MgO) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and various cooling rates applied.

2014 5th International Renewable Energy Congress (IREC), 2014
The application of phase change materials (PCMs) for solar thermal-energy storage capacities has received considerable attention in recent years due to their large storage capacity and isothermal nature of the storage process. This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation on the thermophysical properties of composites materials (Epoxy

Latent heat characteristics of fatty acid derivatives pursuant phase change material applications
Chemical Engineering Science, 2003Abstract In their natural form, fats and vegetable oils melt at temperatures useful for thermal energy storage. Incremental improvement of their heat release characteristics could pave the way for commercial applications as phase change materials (PCM).

Latent heat characteristics of biobased oleochemical carbonates as potential phase change materials
Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 2010Abstract Oleochemical carbonates are biobased materials that were readily prepared through a carbonate interchange reaction between renewable C10–C18 fatty alcohols and dimethyl or diethyl carbonate in the presence of a catalyst. These carbonates have various commercial uses in cosmetic, fuel additive, and lubricant applications.
