Temperature-dependent thermal conductivity of eicosane-based phase change materials with copper oxide nanoparticles

In this study, pure eicosane and eicosane-CuO solid composites were prepared using ambient and ice-water bath solidification methods. A Thermal Constants Analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the samples using the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Results showed that for both solidification methods, composite thermal conductivity was independent of temperature up to a point, and the composites with the highest nanoparticle concentrations had the highest thermal conductivity. Although the composites ...

Experimental determination of temperature-dependent thermal conductivity of solid eicosane-based nanostructure-enhanced phase change materials 

Nanoparticle-enhanced phase change materials (NePCMs) are nanofluids that can be used for thermal energy storage when they undergo solid-liquid phase transitions. In this study, a Thermal Constants Analyzer (TPS) measured the thermal conductivity of eicosane-based NePCM samples using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that thermal conductivity of the solid composites increased with temperature, and eicosane-CuO samples that solidified in an ice-water bath had the lowest thermal conductivities, ...
