Abstract:Cooling processes
require heat transfer fluids with high specific
heat capacity. For cooling processes below 0 °C, water has to
be diluted with organic liquids to prevent freezing, with the undesired
effect of reduced specific heat capacity. Phase change dispersions,
PCDs, consist of a phase change material, PCM, being dispersed in
a continuous phase. This allows for using the PCD as heat transfer
fluid with a very high apparent specific heat capacity within a specified,
limited temperature range. So far, the … Show more
