Abstract:Three composite phase change materials (PCM) with peak melting points of 42°C, 50°C and 58°C were prepared using different mass fractions of stearic acid (SA) and lauric acid (LA). A thermal control model structure of thermoelectric generation/PCM (TG/PCM) was designed using PCM, and analyzed for its internal thermal conversion, transmission and storage mechanisms. In addition, TG/PCM experimental prototypes with PCM melting points at 42°C, 50°C and 58°C were designed and tested for their temperature control p… Show more
