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.

Numerical Investigation of the Effect of the Mushy Zone Parameter and the Thermal Properties of Paraffin‐Based PCMs on Solidification Modeling Under T‐History Conditions

Energy Storage, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 7(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 27, 2025

ABSTRACT Phase change materials (PCMs) are widely used in various critical applications because of their capacity to store thermal energy and regulate temperature effectively. A review the literature on PCM solidification melting simulations reveals that accuracy these is highly dependent input parameters underlying assumptions software. Among key factors influencing precise simulation results parameter mushy zone () properties material. This study numerically investigated impact behavior a paraffin test tube under T‐history conditions. The analysis was conducted using commercial CFD software ANSYS Fluent enthalpy‐porosity method applied process. To accurately reflect conditions experiment, radiative heat transfer between surfaces employed for boundary conditions, ensuring realistic representation experimental setup. An evaluation four properties—thermal conductivity, density, latent heat, specific heat—indicates while an increase slows down rate solidification, conductivity has opposite effect, accelerating further emphasize selecting appropriate value crucial achieving accurate simulations. Increasing from enhanced prediction time by 10%. Additionally, significantly affects shape progression solidification. As increases, lower layers decreases, concentrating process more adjacent cold wall.

Effects of In Situ Porous Carbon Modification on Thermal Energy Storage of Paraffin/Expanded Vermiculite Form-Stable Composite Phase Change Materials

Materials, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 18(4), С. 870 - 870

Опубликована: Фев. 17, 2025

The utilization of form-stable phase change materials (PCMs) represents a reliable technology for achieving energy conversion. In this study, starch was impregnated into the layers expanded vermiculite (EVM) and subsequently carbonized at high temperatures to produce in situ carbon modified (EVMC), which enhance heat storage efficiency. EVMC, characterized by its network, acted as encapsulated material, leading development paraffin (P)/EVCM-based shape-stable composite PCM (EVMCP). latent EVMCP measured 179 J/g, surpassing that EVMP 144.8 J/g. This finding suggested porous significantly improves ability. Furthermore, non-isothermal crystallization curves indicated EVMC markedly accelerated nucleation simultaneously restricted crystal growth.
