Thermal Energy Storage in Metal Foams filled with Paraffin Wax

Phase change materials (PCM) such as paraffin wax are known to exhibit slow thermal response due to their relatively low thermal conductivity. In this study, experiments were carried out to investigate a method of enhancing thermal conductivity of paraffin wax by making use of high porosity open cel...
