Abstract Latent heat storage using alloys as phase change materials (PCMs) is an attractive option for high-temperature thermal energy storage. Encapsulation of these PCMs essential their successful use. However, so far, technology producing microencapsulated (MEPCMs) that can be used above 500°C has not been established. Therefore, in this study, we developed Al-Si alloy microsphere MEPCMs covered by α-Al 2 O 3 shells. The MEPCM was prepared two steps: (1) the formation AlOOH shell on PCM...
Over the past few decades, research field of nanomaterials (NMs) has developed rapidly because unique electrical, optical, magnetic, and catalytic properties these materials. Among various methods available today for NM synthesis, techniques plasma generation in liquid are relatively new. Various types such as arc discharge glow can be applied to produce metal, alloy, oxide, inorganic, carbonaceous, composite NMs. Many experimental setups have been reported, which parameters liquid,...

This paper studies the possibility of developing a new heat recovery system from various hot wastes generated by steelmaking industry, utilizing endothermic reaction instead sensible heat. In proposed system, waste gas was first stored using Phase Change Material (PCM), and then supplied to an endothermic, methane-steam reforming (MSR) as source. The molten slag granulated rotary cup atomizer (RCA) recovered MSR. A material balance model developed evaluate this predict all its operating...
