I am currently doing a research on phase change material selection and i have screened out the following alternatives as Phase change materials but i am facing difficulty in acquiring the numerical values of different physical, thermal and chemical properties. The materials are:
· Paraffin C17H36 (organic)
· Paraffin C18H38 (organic)
· Polyethylene glycol 600 (H(OC2H2)n.OH) (organic non-paraffin)
· D-Lactic acid (organic non-paraffin)
· Butyl stearate (C22H44O2) (organic, non-paraffin)
· Manganese(II) nitrate hexahydrate (Mn(NO3)2.6H2O) (salt hydrate)
· 48%CaCl2 + 4.3%NaC l+ 0.4%KCl + 47.3% H2O (salt hydrate)
The properties for which numerical values are required are as follows:
· Latent Heat of Transition
· Thermal Conductivity
· Specific Heat for Solid
· Specific Heat for Liquid
Density
If someone has any information, Kindly help me out.
A bibliographic database for phase change materials in building technology is available at:
https://www.nist.gov/el/materials-and-structural-systems-division-73100/inorganic-materials-group-73103/phase-change
Unfortunately, it is a bit dated now, but should still have some good references that survey the field and give values for some specific materials.
Dear Hamza
A really good place to look (other than Google) would be the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, these are great thick books with a large amount of data on a wealth of materials. You may find at least some of the information you seek in there.
Kindest Regards
Paul
