Abstract:

A major challenge of developing faster and smaller microelectronic devices is that high flux of heat needs to be removed efficiently to prevent overheating of devices. The conventional way of heat removal using liquid reaches a limit due to low thermal conductivity and limited heat capacity of fluids. Adding solid nanoparticles into fluids has been proposed as a way to enhance thermal conductivity of fluids, but recent results show inconclusive anomalous enhancements in thermal conductivity. A possible way to improve heat transfer is to increase the heat capacity of liquid by adding phase chan

Abstract:

Phase change materials are a class of compounds employed for data storage applications such as rewritable optical disks (DVD-RW, Blue-Ray disks) and more recently for non-volatile electronic memories of new generation, named phase change memories (PCM)[1]. These applications rely on a fast (50 ns) and reversible transition between a crystalline and the amorphous phases upon heating. The strong optical and electronic contrast between the crystal and the amorphous allows discriminating between the two phases that correspond to the two states of the memory, i.e. the 0 and 1 bits.

This study describes a simulation-based approach for informing the incorporation of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in buildings designed to the "Passive House" standard. PCMs provide a minimally invasive method of adding thermal mass to a building, thus mitigating overheating events. Phase change transition temperature, quantity, and location of PCM were all considered while incrementally adding PCM to Passive House simulation models in multiple climate zones across the United States. Whole building energy simulations were performed using EnergyPlus from the US Department of Energy. A prototypi

Abstract:

Thermal energy storage (TES) has a crucial role to play in conserving and efficiently utilising energy, dealing with mismatch between demand and supply, and enhancing the performance and reliability of our current energy systems. This thesis concerns TES materials and devices with an aim to establish a relationship between TES device level performance to materials properties. This is a multiscale problem. The work focuses on the use of carbonate-salt-based composite phase change materials (CPCMs) for medium and high temperature applications. A CPCM consists of a carbonate salt based phase chan

Abstract:

A Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system is meant for holding thermal energy in the form of hot or cold materials for later utilization. A TES system is an important technological system in providing energy savings as well as efficient and optimum energy use. The main types of a TES system are sensible heat and latent heat. A latent heat storage is a very efficient method for storing or releasing thermal energy due to its high energy storage density at constant temperatures, and a latent heat storage material can store 5-14 times more heat per unit volume than a sensible heat storage material can

Abstract:

Latent heat storage is one of the most efficient ways of storing thermal energy.

Steadily increasing heat dissipation in electronic devices has generated renewed interest in direct immersion cooling. The ideal heat transfer fluid for direct immersion cooling applications should be chemically and thermally stable, and compatible with the electronic components.

Although these fluids are chemically stable and have low dielectric constants, they are plagued by poor thermal properties.

Abstract:

Sustainable energy sources and utilization is a large area of interest and the developments are moving fast. Recently, thermal energy storage in the form of phase change materials other than water have caught more interest and a need of analysis for the entire life cycle of the materials have appeared. Previous work in the area shows that health and safety aspects of the products’ life cycle have been neglected and comparisons between different phase change materials other than water are sparsely researched. The objectives for this report are to compare three different phase change material in

Abstract:

Climate change is no longer imminent but eminent. To combat climate change, effective, efficient and smart energy use is imperative. Thermal energy storage (TES) with phase change materials (PCMs) is one attractive choice to realize this. Besides suitable phase change temperatures and enthalpies, the PCMs should also be robust, non-toxic, environmental-friendly and cost-effective. Cost-effective PCMs can be realized in bulk blends. Blends however do not have robust phase change unless chosen articulately. This thesis links bulk blends and robust, cost-effective PCMs via the systematic design o

L’objectiu d’aquesta tesis doctoral és el desenvolupament d’un sistema d’emmagatzematge d’energia tèrmica (TES) mitjançant la utilització de materials de canvi de fase (PCM) per aplicacions a baixa temperatura, en particular, per a congeladors comercials. Es provarà tant experimental com numèricament la millora de les condicions de l’emmagatzematge i també la millora de la qualitat dels aliments emmagatzemats/transportats. També inclou la investigació de nous PCMs, estudiant la modificació de la temperatura de canvi de fase i analitzant velocitats de degradació i corrosió amb els materia

Abstract:

Microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) as a new thermal energy storage material and a heat transfer medium have attracted considerable attention in the thermal energy storage field. Solidification and melting models of a single PCM particle are constructed in this thesis. An effective numerical method for the problem of a spherical particle with a moving boundary was developed and validated by an iterative analytical series solution. A new liquid-solid interface model was proposed for modelling the effect of binary phase composition on the solidification of an alloy and a mixture PCM p

Abstract:

Energy storage using Phase Change Materials (PCMs) offers the advantage of higher heat capacity at specific temperature ranges, compared to single phase storage. Incorporating PCMs in lightweight buildings can therefore improve the thermal mass, and reduce indoor temperature fluctuations and energy demand. Large atrium buildings, such as Airport terminal spaces, are typically thermally lightweight structures, with large open indoor spaces, large glazed envelopes, high ceilings and non-uniform internal heat gains. The Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems constitute a major p

Abstract:

Building-integrated Concentrator Photovoltaic (BICPV) technology produces noiseless and pollution free electricity at the point of use. With a potential to contribute immensely to the increasing global need for a sustainable and low carbon energy, the primary challenges such as thermal management of the panels are overwhelming. Although significant progress has been made in the solar cell efficiency increase, the concentrator photovoltaic industry has still to go a long way before it becomes competitive and economically viable. Experiencing great losses in their electrical efficiencies at high

Abstract:

Shape stable phase change materials (SSPCMs) based on paraffin wax (PW) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) can be used as energy storage materials for utilization of renewable energy in buildings. An SSPCM could be formed by selecting a suitable wax in terms of melting temperature (T m) and a HDPE in terms of viscosity. However, the impact of waxes with different T m and HDPEs with different viscosities on the manufacture of SSPCMs and their thermo-physical properties has not been studied thoroughly. Therefore, the aim of the research reported in this thesis is to understand the effect of di
