Phase change materials (PCMs) having a large latent heat during solid-liquid phase transition are promising for thermal energy storage applications. However, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the majority of promising PCMs (<10 W/ (m ⋅ K)) limits the power density and overall storage efficiency.
Phase change materials (PCMs) are gaining increasing attention and becoming popular in the thermal energy storage field. Microcapsules enhance thermal and mechanical performance of PCMs used in thermal energy storage by increasing the heat transfer area and preventing the leakage of melting materials.
Thermal control systems based on phase change materials have the main advantage that are passive and, if properly designed, are highly reliable and efficient. Some Phase Change Materials (PCMs) – paraffins – have other applications for spacecrafts, such as mechanical actuators, which convert temperature changes to mechanical work.
Phase Change Materials Handbook is a document released by NASA as early as 1971 with the intent of bridging the gap between state-of-the-art research available at that date and the actual engineering design. PCMs are categorized as passive thermal control techniques and the main areas of application in spacecraft thermal control are as follows.
