Paraffin wax has been identified as a hybrid rocket motor fuel, which offers enhanced regression rates and improved combustion performance. While various investigations into the performance of this class fuels are being conducted around world, consideration its structural is often overlooked. The research presented here establishes simplified, yet accurate method defining paraffin fuel grain to...

INTRODUCTION Bone wax is sometimes used in a variety of surgical procedures as a haemostatic. Bone wax contains beeswax softened with isopropyl palmitate or paraffin. It is nonabsorbable with no biochemical action. It achieves haemostasis by occluding the blood channels mechanically. Once applied it essentially never goes away. Bone wax reactions have been reported in literature many times. C...

Paraffin wax was microencapsulated by suspension polymerization with a polymer shell of methylmetacrylate (MMA)-styrene (St) copolymer. The influence of the copolymer/paraffin mass ratio and the MMA/St mass ratio on the encapsulation process and the physical properties of the microcapsules obtained were studied. It was observed that paraffin is difficultly encapsulated when the ratio polymer/pa...

The temperature of battery modules in electric vehicles must be controlled adequately to remain within a specified range for optimum performance. In this research work, thermal management with PCM was investigated experimentally and computationally. Li-Ion pack cooled removing heat generated during the charging discharging cycles. Computations experiments were carried out estimate transfer, sol...

• Paraffin wax is a good storage medium due to fast charging and latent heat absorption. The two designs follow the same heating dynamics independently of final temperatures reached. An addition second inlet yields higher improves HTF distribution. This allows better transfer rate, yet temperature increase minimal negligible. Higher or lower velocities at inlet(s) can benefit system depending o...

Exposure buildup factors for some tissues such as bone compact, Muscle striated, orange articulation wax, red articulation wax, nylon, PMMA and paraffin 2 have been computed using the five parameter geometric progression (GP) fitting method in the energy range of 0.01515.0 MeV, up to the penetration of 40 mean free paths (mfp). The variation of exposure buildup factors for all the selected tiss...

Abstract Values of energy supply and demand vary within the same timeframe are not equal. Consequently, to minimise amount wasted, there is a need use various types storing systems. Recently, one can observe trend in which phase change materials (PCM) have gained popularity as that store an excess heat energy. In this research, authors analysed paraffin wax (cheese wax)’s capability PCM materia...
