Two bio-oleogels were investigated. These materials produced with a combination of canola and soybean oil 4, 6, 8, 10% beeswax (by weight). Sensible heat storage capacity, melting parameters, enthalpies investigated by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) test. An ordinary DSC dynamic test was performed. Cycles heating cooling performed, as well tests different rates. According to result...

Phase change materials have several applications and effects as energy storage elements insulation on buildings' efficiency, air-conditioning, heating systems (HVAC). In this study, the evaluation of conservation enhancement passive system by integrating phase material with building envelopes is performed. Two identical modules were built (each 109 cm × 89 38 cm); first module represe...

While phase change material based heat sinks have been shown to act as highly efficient transient cooling devices, the effective implementation of these components is prevented by a lack design guidelines. Here, we develop an analytical framework for optimizing rectangular and cylindrical composite sinks. This accomplished through definition two objectives: (1) maximize thermal buffering capaci...
