Phase Change Materials (PCM’s) store large amounts of thermal energy as latent heat associated with the solid/liquid phase transition. Salt hydrates are popular PCM’s due to their high latent heat value, however many of these substances are prone to supercooling, which for the usual heat storage applications is problematic as it prevents the release of the stored heat. This project will investigate the intentional use of supercooling as a means of long term energy storage, taking inspiration from the “heat pad” hand warmers on the market. The project involves characterization of selected PCM materials, and construction of a prototype heat store for initial tests.
i would like 3 pages for introduction, 3 pages for literature review,4 pages experiment set up not explaining the data just (set up) and how to do the experiment.
