Heat Transfer Enhancement Analysis of Microencapsulated Phase Change Suspension

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper investigates heat transfer enhancement of the microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) suspension. The specific heat of tested sample is measured by A Differential Scan Calorimeter (DSC) analysis. The corrected factor of sample is obtained by theoretical analysis and DSC measurement. The thermal conductivity is obtained by theoretical analysis and verified by previous works.
