Experimental analysis for thermo-physical properties of phase change materials during accelerated thermal cycling

Onkar A. Babar et al.

Summary: The thermo-chemical degradations of five paraffin waxes were investigated during 750 accelerated thermal cycles to determine their suitability as phase change material in a solar dryer. It was found that PW(1) retained the highest latent heat, discharge time, and exhibited only 1.02% mass degradation after 750 cycles, making it the selected choice.
