Nanostructure-enhanced Phase Change Materials (NePCM) and HRD

Technical Report Khodadai, Jay

Development and characterization of high aspect-ratio nanostructures tailored for dramatic improvements of thermal conductivity of phase change materials is proposed. This DOE renewal project builds upon a proven research record on development of a number of stable and functionality-proven colloids of metal oxide and metallic nanoparticles (avg. diameters less than 10 nm). These efforts followed original conceptualization and synergistic activities on promoting nanostructure-enhanced phase change materials (NePCM) and their utilization for thermal energy storage, waste heat recovery, thermal comfort, etc. Given this background, availability of promising preliminary results for the proposed target materials and formation of a new team ofmore »« less

A molecular dynamics study of the effect of thermal boundary conductance on thermal transport of ideal crystal of n-alkanes with different number of carbon atoms

Journal Article Rastgarkafshgarkolaei, Rouzbeh ; Zeng, Yi ; Khodadadi, J. M. - Journal of Applied Physics

Phase change materials such as n-alkanes that exhibit desirable characteristics such as high latent heat, chemical stability, and negligible supercooling are widely used in thermal energy storage applications. However, n-alkanes have the drawback of low thermal conductivity values. The low thermal conductivity of n-alkanes is linked to formation of randomly oriented nano-domains of molecules in their solid structure that is responsible for excessive phonon scattering at the grain boundaries. Thus, understanding the thermal boundary conductance at the grain boundaries can be crucial for improving the effectiveness of thermal storage systems. The concept of the ideal crystal is proposed in thismore »« less

Chemically linked metal-matrix nanocomposites of boron nitride nanosheets and silver as thermal interface materials

Journal Article Nagabandi, N. ; Yegin, C. ; Feng, X. ; ... - Nanotechnology

Herein, novel hybrid nanocomposite thermal interface materials (TIMs) relying on the chemical linkage of silver, boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs), and organic ligands are reported. These TIMs were prepared using a co-electrodeposition/chemisorption approach where the electrolytic reduction of silver ions into silver nano-/micro-crystals was coupled with the conjugation of ligand-coated nanosheets onto silver crystals. Furthermore, the influence of bond strength of silver/nanosheet links on the thermal, mechanical, and structural properties is investigated using a combination of techniques; including laser flash analysis, phase-sensitive transient thermoreflectance, nanoindentation, and electron microscopy. Internal nanostructure was found to be strongly dependent on the linker chemistry. Whilemore »« less

SCALE ANALYSIS AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS OF A SOLID/LIQUID PHASE-CHANGE THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM

Conference Siahpush, Ali ; O'Brien, James ; Crepeau, John ; ...

A detailed experimental study has been carried out to evaluate the heat transfer performance of a solid/liquid phasechange thermal energy storage system. The phase-change material (PCM) and metal foam are contained in a vertically oriented test cylinder that is cooled or heated at its outside boundary, resulting in radially inward melting, respectively. Detailed quantitative time-dependent volumetric temperature distributions and melt-front motion and shape data were obtained. As the PCM melts, the interface moves away from the surface of the heat source/sink, and a thermal resistance layer is built up, resulting in a reduced heat transfer rate and/or increased temperature differencemore »« less

Improvement of discharge characteristics of latent heat thermal energy storage unit by using carbon fibers

Conference Fukai, Jun ; Oishi, Akira ; Kodama, Yoshikazu ; ...

Many phase change materials have unacceptably low thermal conductivities. Metal fins, metal honeycombs and metal matrices have been examined to enhance the thermal conductivity of the PCMs. This study proposed an enhancement technique using carbon fibers with high thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity of the carbon fibers prepared in this study is 220 W/(m{center_dot}K). Paraffin wax (0.26 W/(m{center_dot}K) in solid phase) and Na{sub 2}SO{sub 4}{center_dot}10H{sub 2}O-mixture (0.8 W/(m{center_dot}K) in solid phase) were selected as heat storage media. The fibers were uniformly mixed with th PCM encapsulated in a cylindrical capsule. The effective thermal conductivities of the fibers/PCM composites were measured.more »« less
