Permeability and thermal conductivity of host compressed natural graphite for consolidated activated carbon adsorbent

Permeability and thermal conductivity test units were set up to study the heat and mass transfer performance of the host material, i.e. expanded natural graphite (ENG), for consolidated activated carbon (AC) adsorbent. The permeability was tested with nitrogen as the gas source, and the thermal conductivity was studied using steady-state heat source method. The results showed that the values of permeability and thermal conductivity were 10^-15 to 10^-12 m² and 1.7 to 3.2 W/(m·K), respectively, while the density compressed expanded natural graphite (CENG) varied from 100 to 500 kg/m³. The permeability decreased with the increasing density of CENG, whereas the thermal conductivity increased with the increasing density of CENG. Then the thermal conductivity and permeability of granular AC were researched. It was discovered that the thermal conductivity of samples with different grain size almost kept constant at 0.36 W/(m·K) while the density was approximately 600 kg/m³. This means that the thermal conductivity was not related to the grain size of AC. The thermal conductivity of CENG was improved by 5 to 10 times compared with that of granular AC. Such a result showed that CENG was a promising host material for AC to improve the heat transfer performance, while the mass transfer performance should be considered in different conditions for utilization of adsorbent.

Hydrate salt/self-curing acrylic resin form-stable phase change materials with enhanced surface stability and thermal properties via the incorporation of graphene oxide

This work presents a novel eutectic hydrate salt/self-curing acrylic resin form-stable phase change materials (PCMs) composite (EHS/SCR) with favorable form-stable performances for heat energy storage. Further, to improve the surface stability, latent heat and thermal conductivity of the EHS/SCR particles, graphene oxide (GO) used as cladding materials is incorporated onto the surface of the EHS/SCR particles to prepare the GO modified EHS/SCR phase change composite (EGO). The obtained results indicate that the GO-targeted absorption model has achieved the enhancements in stability and thermal properties of EHS/SCR while making use of GO in an efficient and economical way. To be specific, with the introduction of GO of only 1.07 wt%, the thermal conductivity of 0.508 W/m·K is achieved, the value shows a significant rise of 128.6% compared with the EHS/SCR of 0.222 W/m·K. Additionally, the maximum latent heat of EGO-6 is up to 90.4 J/g, which exhibits a 3.19-fold increase compared against that of the uncoated EHS/SCR. Moreover, the prepared EGO composite PCM remain a good thermal cycling reliability after 300 thermal cycles. This work provides a novel opportunity to improve the performance of form-stable PCM composites with an intelligent manufacture-oriented pattern.

Photo-to-thermal conversion and energy storage of lauric acid/expanded graphite composite phase change materials

To make better use of solar energy, lauric acid/expanded graphite (LA/EG) composite phase change materials (PCMs) were synthesized to collect and store solar energy as latent heat thermal energy. The results of thermal characteristics show that when the mass fraction of EG is 5%, 10%, and 15%, the latent heat of LA/EG is 164.5, 156.9, and 148.0 J/g, and the thermal conductivity is 2.73, 7.98, and 10.54 W/(m·K). Leakage test shows that LA/EG PCMs with EG mass fraction of 10% and 15% are form stable after phase change. One thousand thermal cycles prove good thermal reliability of LA/EG. TG analysis indicates LA/EG PCMs have good thermal stability within operating temperature range. The Ultraviolet-visible spectra reveal that the absorbance of LA/EG composite PCMs would increase as the mass fraction of EG increases. Photothermal conversion experiment results indicate that the photothermal conversion efficiency of LA/EG composite PCMs increases as the mass fraction of EG increases, and the efficiency can reach 95% when the mass fraction of EG is 15%. Moreover, it was also found that the process of photothermal conversion can be accelerated with stronger illumination intensity or smaller heat transfer size. All the results show that the prepared LA/EG PCMs can convert solar energy into thermal energy and store it in the form of latent heat at the same time, which indicates it has promising prospect in the application of solar energy conversion and storage.

Mechanical and thermal properties of cement composite graphite for solar thermal storage materials

The comprehensive survey on an attractive thermal storage material consisted of aluminate cement and graphite is obtained in this paper. The effect of different water/cement (w/c) ratio and graphite content on compressive strength and thermal properties including thermal conductivity, volume heat capacity and thermal expansion coefficient of hardened aluminate cement pastes were investigated to pursue the optimum material design for solar parabolic trough power plant. It is observed that thermal conductivity and volume heat capacity were improved with the decrease of w/c and the increase of graphite content. The results show that w/c is a key factor affecting thermal properties of pastes and graphite even has some influence on the hydration process. After heat treatment at 350 °C for 6 h, compressive strength and thermal properties descended in a certain extent. XRD and FTIR were used to characterize the evolution of hydration products together. Furthermore, the properties obtained from the paper will lay the foundation for thermal storage materials of solar thermal power plants in the future.
