Heat Transfer With a MicroPCM Suspension in Laminar Tube Flow Using a Realistic Melting Model

Abstract: A microPCM fluid is a suspension of particles of microencapsulated phase-change-material (PCM) in a carrier heat transfer fluid. Such fluids have potential as pumped loop cooling media for applications in aerospace electronics cooling, terrestrial energy systems, and recently in electric vehicle cooling. The melting process of the phase change material does not occur at a single temperature but rather occurs over a temperature range. In the past, numerical solutions to microPCM fluids have assumed a linear rel… Show more
