Latent heat storage above 120°C for applications in the industrial process heat sector and solar power generation. This paper is focussed on thermal storage technologies using phase change materials (PCMs) in the temperature range of 120–300°C for solar thermal power generation and high temperature process heat.….
Figure 1. Phase change material (PCM) thermal storage behavior under transient heat loads. (A) Conceptual PCM phase diagram showing temperature as a function of stored energy including sensible heat and latent heat (Δ H) during phase transition. The solidification temperature ( Ts) is lower than the melting temperature ( Tm) due to …
Noticing its high energy density of 29 MJ/kg [20], there is an increasing concern on using aluminum-based materials as an energy storage or conversion material in recent years. Being the most abundant crustal metal on the earth, which can be fully recycled, aluminum is regarded as a "viable metal", the utilization of which exactly …
In this work the thermal energy storage of the so called solar salt (60% NaNO3 - 40% KNO3) was improved by adding a phase change material composed of Al-Cu alloy nanoencapsulated with an aluminium ...
Aluminum is a metal that is easy to machine. So much so that it can be turned into foil or wire with a thickness of less than 1/100 mm. Aluminum conducts heat and electricity, as well as copper. All methods, such as casting, forging, rolling, pressing, extrusion, and drawing, can be applied to shape aluminum.
Magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy has become one of the most promising hydrogen storage alloy materials due to its high hydrogen storage capacity, lightweight and abundant resources. However, the practical application of MgH 2 for hydrogen storage is still impeded by its slow kinetics and high temperature of hydrogen …
High-pressure die casting (HPDC) has been extensively used to manufacture aluminum alloy heat dissipation components in the fields of vehicles, electronics, and communication. With the increasing demand for HPDC heat dissipation components, the thermal conductivity of die-cast aluminum alloys is paid more attention. …
The new all-aluminum alloy conductors gradually replace the steel core conductors and develop rapidly and are widely used around the world in aerospace, construction, automobile, and civil industries. The main production of aluminum alloy conductors is elaborated, pure aluminum series, Al–Mg–Si series, Al–Fe series, and …
Some of potential metallic PCM for thermal energy storage in CSP plants with working temperature around 600 • C (e.g. current central tower CSP using solar salt both HTF and storage medium ...
Although some researchers have been able to effectively inhibit the metal dissolution through alloying strategies, such as Ca-Mg alloy [117] and Te-Sn alloy [116], the long-term service of these ...
Energy Storage is a new journal for innovative energy storage research, covering ranging storage methods and their integration with conventional & renewable systems. Abstract We report the electrochemical performance of aluminum-air (Al-Air) cells for three commercially available aluminum alloys, that is, Al 1200, Al 8011, and Al 6061 …
The hydrogen storage container is the key component of the hydrogen vehicle [11]. At present, the most widely used hydrogen storage container is the III-type composite hydrogen storage tank whose ...
An overview of recent literature on the micro- and nano-encapsulation of metallic phase-change materials (PCMs) is presented in this review to facilitate an understanding of the basic knowledge, selection criteria, and classification of commonly used PCMs for thermal energy storage (TES). Metals and alloys w
Abstract The structural, mechanical, elastic, electronic and thermoelectric properties of the transition metal aluminides TM-Al (TM = Ti, Fe and Co) using the density functional theory combined with semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory have been investigated. In this study, we have determined the equilibrium lattice parameters, …
