Phase change materials (PCMs) can store large amounts of energy in latent heat and release it during phase changes, which could be used to improve the freeze-thaw performance soil. The composite material was prepared with paraffin as PCM 8% Class C fly ash (CFA) supporting material. Laboratory tests were conducted reveal influence (CFA-PCM) on thermal properties, volume changes mechanical prope...

Incorporating thermal energy storage (TES) into a concentrating solar power (CSP) system extends the power production hours, eliminating intermittency and reducing the Levelized Cost of the Energy (LCOE). The designed TES system was integrated with a 3 kW free-piston Stirling convertor. A NaF–NaCl eutectic salt was chosen as the phase change material (PCM) with a melting temperature of 680 ◦C. ...

The integration of Phase Change Material (PCM) with the Solar Photovoltaic Thermal (PVT) serves as heat storage to enhance system's performance. Temperature rises have an undesirable effect on efficiency results in a diminishment amount energy produced by solar panel. Parametric analysis and temperature investigation are involved improving performance system. variation will assist developing op...

The high operating temperature of the photovoltaic (PV) modules decreases significantly its efficiency. integration phase change material (PCM) is one feasible techniques for reducing PV module. A numerical simulation module with PCM and without has been realized. thermal behavior was evaluated at melting solidification processes PCM. results show that RT35HC a thickness 4 cm reduces by 8 °C co...

In this paper an experimental investigation on the thermal storage capacity for a typical composite mixture of paraffinGraphiteCu PCM composite has been studied. Paraffin wax was used as the base phase change material (PCM) and the paraffin has been mixed with Cu turnings in different ratios 10, 50, 70 and 90 weight percentages and considered as a composite. The thermal charge and discharge cap...

Three composite phase change materials (PCMs) were prepared by blending butyl stearate, dodecanol and RT20 with an organically modified montmorillonite (MMT), respectively. After the three composite PCMs were characterized by DSC, it was indicated that the RT20/MMT composite PCM was a good candidate for building applications due to its large latent heat, suitable phase change temperature and go...

Flexible memory is the fundamental component for data processing, storage, and radio frequency communication in flexible electronic systems. Among several emerging memory technologies, phase-change random-access memory (PRAM) is one of the strongest candidate for next-generation nonvolatile memories due to its remarkable merits of large cycling endurance, high speed, and excellent scalability. ...

We report the identification and primary sequence of PCM-1, a 228-kD centrosomal protein that exhibits a distinct cell cycle-dependent association with the centrosome complex. Immunofluorescence microscopy using antibodies against recombinant PCM-1 demonstrated that PCM-1 is tightly associated with the centrosome complex through G1, S, and a portion of G2. However, late in G2, as cells prepare ...
