Encapsulation of copper-based phase change materials for high temperature thermal energy storage

Modelling of electrical energy consumption in an electric arc furnace using artificial neural networks

“…An increase in the specific electrical energy consumption was noticed when carbon content is higher than 1.2% and chromium content low in the molten steel. This is in accordance with the fact that the melting point of carbon of 3500 C [21] is significantly higher than the melting point of chromium of 1830 C [22]. Similar observations can be noticed when chromium content is higher than 19%.…”

Macroencapsulation and characterization of phase change materials for latent heat thermal energy storage systems

“…Recently, Zhang et al [29] encapsulated NaNO 3 /KNO 3 PCM in AISI 321 tubular capsules. Zhang et al [30] fabricated spherical capsules with copper as the PCM and chromium-nickel as the shell material. The fabricated capsules have been shown to withstand 1000 thermal cycles.…”

High-Temperature Latent Heat Storage Technology to Utilize Exergy of Solar Heat and Industrial Exhaust Heat

“…The development of high-temperature LHS technologies based on Al-Si series PCMs, in particular, is accelerating. This encapsulation method is being refined [47]. The corrosion tests reveal that Al 2 O 3 , AlN, and Si 3 N 4 show high-corrosion resistance to molten Al-Si alloys, and therefore they were suitable as structural materials for LHS systems using Al-Si alloys [44].…”

“…Catalytic PCM capsules with a Ni shell were reported by Maruoka et al [43] and Zhang et al [47]; however, there are few other studies about these materials.
