Review of Laminar Convection Heat-Transfer with Microencapsulated Phase Change Material Slurry

Abstract

This paper mainly makes introduction about microencapsulated phase change material slurry (MPCMS). Microencapsulated phase change material slurry (MPCS) can serve as both the heat transfer fluids and energy storage media, consequently, they are potentially applicable to the thermal systems. The preparations, thermal properties and several correlations of heat transfer in laminar flow of MEPCMS are also listed. In addition, it is found that the main influence factors for heat transfer effective is the bulk Stefan number.
