Local Thermal Nonequilibrium During Melting of a Paraffin Filled in an Open-Cell Copper Foam: A Visualized Study at the Pore-Scale
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this technical brief, the application of infrared thermal imaging to investigate melting of a phase-change material (PCM) filled in an open-cell metal foam was proposed. Melting experiments in a rectangular cell were ...

Contribution of the Hydroxyl Group on Interfacial Heat Conduction of Monohydric Alcohols: A Molecular Dynamics Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Monohydric alcohols have been used as promising phase change materials (PCMs) for low-temperature latent heat storage. However, the heat storage/retrieval rates are limited due to the low thermal conductivity of such ...
Unconstrained Melting Heat Transfer of Nano-Enhanced Phase-Change Materials in a Spherical Capsule for Latent Heat Storage: Effects of the Capsule Size
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Toward accelerated latent heat storage, the unconstrained melting heat transfer in spherical capsules was revisited experimentally in the presence of nano-enhanced phase-change materials (NePCMs), with an emphasis on the ...
Enhanced Critical Heat Flux During Quenching of Extremely Dilute Aqueous Colloidal Suspensions With Graphene Oxide Nanosheets
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this Technical Brief, we report on preliminary results of an experimental investigation of quenching of aqueous colloidal suspensions with graphene oxide nanosheets (GONs). Extremely dilute suspensions with only 0.0001% ...
Inward Solidification Heat Transfer of Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Materials in a Spherical Capsule: An Experimental Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The classical problem of inward solidification heat transfer inside a spherical capsule, with an application to thermal energy storage (TES), was revisited in the presence of nano-enhanced phase change materials (NePCM). ...
A Novel Indirect Visualization Method for Studying the Melting Heat Transfer of Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Materials Using Thermochromic Liquid Crystal Thermography
