Thermal storage

Phase change materials have excellent thermal energy storage capacity, making them an appealing option for energy management applications. Stabilizing the form of phase change materials enhances their practical effectiveness. This research focuses on sustaining the shape of low molecular weight PEG phase change materials in wood structures made from natural balsa wood.

In this paper, physico-chemical and mineralogical properties of fly ash from Pha Lai, Mong Duong and Ninh Binh thermal power stations were studied for ultilization to improve soil properties. Results shows that the properties of fly ash depend on the nature of parent coal, conditions of combustion, type of emission control devices, and storage and handling methods.
