Join us at the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES).
Microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) are excellent materials for the storage of thermal energy, and through their dispersal into a carrier fluid, microencapsulated phase change slurries (MPCS) can be prepared. These slurries exhibit both excellent thermal energy storage and heat transfer properties. A series of MPCS were prepared for this research and subsequently tested for thermal conductivity and specific heat. Other methods of quantification include DSC, TGA, rheometry, and infrared ...
A new composite zeolite/foam aluminum material is synthesized and its suitability for use in an adsorptive refrigeration system is studied. Current automobile air conditioning systems use vapor compression refrigeration systems which have environmentally unfriendly chemicals and use a significant portion of the engine power of the vehicle. The newly proposed composite zeolite/foam aluminum would work by using the engines heat in order to run the air conditioning systems, ...
