Benefits of PCM underfloor heating with PCM wallboards for space heating in winter
Paul Devaux,Mohammed Farid +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, phase change materials (PCM) can be incorporated into various building components to increase their thermal mass to reduce energy consumption and to perform peak load shifting, and the results showed the benefits of PCM when incorporated in walls, ceiling, and in combination with PCM underfloor heating system using two different types of PCMs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emulsion stability and cross-linking of PMMA microcapsules containing phase change materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of using pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETRA) as a cross-linker agent on the diverse properties of paraffin microcapsules such as morphology, energy storage density, shell permeability and thermal stability has been investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclic microwave thawing of frozen meat: experimental and theoretical investigation
B.J. Taher,Mohammed Farid +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental and theoretical investigation of microwave thawing of frozen minced beef has been conducted, where the main objective is to develop a theoretical model to predict temperature distribution in frozen meat samples of different thickness, when subjected to microwave cyclic heating.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar desalination based on humidification process—I. Evaluating the heat and mass transfer coefficients
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a closed air cycle type, in which air is circulated in the unit by natural draft between the humidifier and condenser, and found that the air circulation rate increased with water flow rate, causing a further increase in the mass transfer coefficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving thermal performance of freezers using phase change materials.
TL;DR: In this paper, phase change materials (PCMs) under door openings and electrical power failure were used to improve the thermal performance of commercial freezers, and the results showed that the use of PCM maintained the freezer temperature 4-6°C lower and that of the frozen products remains at acceptable levels for much longer time.
