A comprehensive review on solar drying using paraffin wax as PCM

Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2025

Developing methods to alter the use of fossil fuels and save reserves for betterment future is primary concern in today's era. The radiation component solar energy has a huge content. Utilizing dry fruits, vegetables, harvests will be productive method reducing reliance on extending shelf life food items. Thus, an effort been undertaken this review paper summarize research work performed previously current with thermal storage materials. This discusses practicalities phase change materials (PCMs) sensible heat storage. PCMs give more effective outcomes than reasonable heat-storage because changes involve substantial fusion heat. Due its accessible availability, physical thermodynamic features, high latent cycle stability, paraffin wax commonly utilized PCM. A thorough deliberation was had about techniques employed, kind material used, several kinds dryers, efficiency comparison natural drying methods.

Abstract The novel multilayer shell phase change microcapsule (NePCM), which consists of paraffin/titanium dioxide‐polydopamine (PW/TiO 2 ‐PDA), is prepared by a two‐step method. PDA deposits on the TiO surface through self‐polymerization dopamine (DA). NePCM5 and NePCM‐PDA‐0.6 samples have maximum enthalpies 106.43 80.12 J g −1 , respectively. There no trend continuous increase in enthalpy with increasing content, may attribute to agglomeration behaviors caused excessive content. PW encapsulated within microcapsules maintains stable performances during storage release processes thermal energy. as‐prepared show regular monolayer spherical core‐shell structures. average size are approximately 259.4 311.4 nm, particle nanoscale advantageous for improving heat transfer efficiency, maintaining uniform distribution, optimizing mechanical properties, reducing lag systems (TES) industrial applications. obtained applied modify insulation coatings based low conductivity PW. temperature difference lowest reach 19.70 °C (5 mm) 0.126 W (m·K) after adding NePCM‐PDA‐0.6. resulting coating high stability, conductivity, superior strength, preservation effect. Therefore, stability can be further enhanced PW/TiO reduced layer. double‐shell possess distinct advantages wide application prospects coatings, construction textiles fields.

Optimizing the Design of TES Tanks for Thermal Energy Storage Applications Through an Integrated Biomimetic-Genetic Algorithm Approach

Biomimetics, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 10(4), С. 197 - 197

Опубликована: Март 24, 2025

Building upon an experimentally validated bio-inspired thermal energy storage (TES) tank design, this study introduced a novel computational framework that integrated genetic algorithms (GA) with biomimetic principles to systematically generate TES geometries. Inspired by natural distribution patterns found in vascular networks, the AI-driven methodology explored 13 geometric parameters, focusing on branching structures and spatial distribution, resulted computationally generated designs 29% increase heat transfer surface area while maintaining manufacturability constraints within fixed diameter of 150 mm height 155 mm. Unlike previous studies relied predefined configurations, approach developed dimensional constraints, ensuring relevance allowing for broader structural exploration. The resulting exhibited key characteristics high-efficiency configurations providing systematic, scalable architecture. This represented first step integrating biomimicry into establishing structured generating high-performance, manufacturable configurations. While current work focused future research will emphasize experimental validation real-world implementation confirm practical benefits these AI-generated designs. By bridging gap between intelligence nature-inspired engineering, provided pathway developing more efficient, manufacturable, sustainable solutions applications.
