To address thermal conductivity of paraffin wax (PW)
carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were mixed with PW to form PW-CNTs composites.PW-CNTs composites has been prepared with various mass fractions (1% 、2%、5%) of carbon nanotubes.The thermal properties including phase transition temperature
latent heat of phase change
thermal conductivity and thermal stability during the phase change process are investigated.The phase change property was characterized using differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) and the thermal conductivity was measured by using transient hot wire method.The results show that with the increasing of mass fraction of CNTs
thermal conductivity become larger
and the latent heat decrease gradually.Phase transition temperature of PW-5CNTs is 4-8 ℃
latent heat of phase change is 137.6-142.7 kJ/kg
thermal conductivity is 0.28 W/(m?K)(liquid)
and PW-5CNTs have good enough stability to be widely used as cool storage materials.
