A phase-change material (PCM) is a substance which releases/absorbs sufficient energy at phase transition to provide useful heat or cooling. Generally the transition will be from one of the first two fundamental states of matter - solid and liquid - to the other. The phase transition may also be between non-classical states of matter, such as ...
A cold-energy battery utilizes the properties of an advanced phase-change material (PCM) to maintain temperature as battery thermal management. As with a standard electrical battery, a cold energy battery stores energy and releases depending on the energy demand on it. It can then be recharged by placing in a temperature environment conducive ...
Recent research on PCM has been directed towards attempting to find viable material alternatives to the phase-change material Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 (GST), with mixed success. Other research has focused on the development of a Ge Te – Sb 2 Te 3 superlattice to achieve non-thermal phase changes by changing the co-ordination state of the germanium ...
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling and simulation for phase change materials (PCMs) is a technique used to analyze the performance and behavior of PCMs. The CFD models have been successful in studying and analyzing the air quality, natural ventilation and stratified ventilation, air flow initiated by buoyancy forces and temperature space for the systems integrated with PCMs.
The sodium–sulfur battery (NaS battery), along with the related lithium–sulfur battery employs cheap and abundant electrode materials. It was the first alkali-metal commercial battery. It used liquid sulfur for the positive electrode and a ceramic tube of beta-alumina solid electrolyte (BASE). Insulator corrosion was a problem because they ...

Correct Craft released its first Ski Nautique boat, the first fiberglass ski boat, designed by Leo Bentz, in 1961. [ 3 ] [ 9 ] [ 5 ] It was the world's first tournament inboard ski boat. [ 1 ] In 1986, SeaWorld signed a contract with Correct Craft to supply Ski Nautique boats for ski shows at their marine parks.
