This study highlights the ongoing search for sustainable and thermally suitable phase-change materials (PCMs), for hot weather building climates, such as Iraq. This new PCM must have an extraordinary heat and cold retention ability. Building industries are interested in using paraffin’s in their roofing ...
Phase change materials (PCMs) are becoming increasingly important in the field of thermal energy storage. In this study, conductive fillers were added to wax- and polyethylene-based PCMs to improve their thermal conductivity. A Thermal Constants Analyser measured the thermal conductivity of the PCMs using the ...
