Encapsulation is one of the strategies that researchers have explored to improve thermal performance Thermal Energy Storage systems. can tackle some challenges are currently hindering Phase Change Material utilisation. provides a protective layer avoids PCM from being in contact with environment (in cases chemical stability affected by environmental conditions), prevents corrosion TES system components, and helps control volume change during phase change. Although literature there reviews...
Thermal management system is essential for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicle to control operating temperature and differences. Phase change material (PCM) commonly used the study of battery thermal (BTMS). However, with low conductivity, pure PCM not sufficient transferring heat generated from cells. To resolve this problem, conductivity was enhanced using cooper foam. Active liquid cooling also combined copper foam/paraffin composite phase (CPCM) provide extra ability. The tube...
This article reports a recent study on liquid cooling-based battery thermal management system (BTMS) with composite phase change material (CPCM). Both copper foam and expanded graphite were considered as the structural materials for CPCM. The behaviour of lithium-ion was experimental investigated first under different charge/discharge rates. A two-dimensional model then developed to examine performance BTMS. For foam-based CPCM modelling, an enthalpy-porosity approach applied. numerical...
We investigated the performance improvement of air-conditioning system using fumed silica-based composite phase change materials (PCM). Fumed silica with average particle sizes 0.007 μm and 0.2 to 0.3 an organic PCM a transition temperature 18°C were used as raw for formulation. Chemical compatibility between these ingredients, thermal properties, cyclability PCMs was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential calorimetry...
Chemometric models were established using the Raman spectroscopy technique for in situ composition analysis of multi-component/multi-phase inorganic mixtures. The X-ray powder diffraction was then used to validate chemometric models. Subsequently, a novel method developed determine co-crystal ternary phase diagram an sodium salt system. common requires analyzing liquid and solid phases each constituent separately. It is time-consuming process, often with certain level inaccuracy depending on...
Molten chloride salts have gained significant attention in recent years due to their growing utilization various industrial applications, including Gen IV molten salt nuclear reactors, nuclear-spent fuel pyro-processing, and thermal energy storage. This study is concerned with addressing challenges associated handling the construction of two test rigs a series experiments. It focuses on reliability effectiveness high-temperature resistant mechanical valves, customized freeze Venturi flow...
Thermochemical heat storage has attracted significant attention in recent years due to potential advantages associated with very high-energy density at the material scale and its suitability for long-duration energy because of almost zero loss during storage. Despite potential, thermochemical technologies are still early stage development little been reported on reactors. In this paper, our work charging discharging behavior a fixed-bed reactor is reported. Silica gels were used as sorbent...
