A study on thermal characteristics of phase change material (PCM) in gypsum board for building application
Using fatty acids as phase change materials (PCMs), it is possible to store a large amount of thermal energy in a small mass and with a narrow temperature transition. Passive solar heating and cooling can be done by three methods – simple immersion, direct incorporation and encapsulation. This study...
