Basic chemical studies related to low-temperature thermal-energy storage. Task I. Thermodynamic properties and interactions of salt hydrates used as phase-change materials

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5046460
The purpose of this task is to critically review the state-of-the-art of salt hydrates as phase change materials. Areas for review include phase equilibria, nucleation and melting kinetics of the commonly used hydrates (e.g., Na/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ . 10H/sub 2/O, Na/sub 2/S/sub 2/O/sub 3/ . 5H/sub 2/O, CaCl/sub 2/ . 6H/sub 2/O, MgCl/sub 2/ . 6H/sub 2/O) with the objective of identifying research that would result in more practicable use of these materials. A survey of the literature has been made and a list of recommended basic chemical research has been prepared.
