The binary eutectic mixtures of fatty acid esters are promising phase change materials for energy storage application. However, the low thermal conductivity which is a common problem for organic phase change materials restricts their further and better applications. In order to solve the problem, a novel composite phase change material (CPCM) was prepared in this research by using methyl palmitate-methyl stearate (MP-MS), a typical binary eutectic mixture of fatty acid esters, as phase change material and expanded graphite (EG) as heat transfer enhancer. The heat transfer performance of MP-MS/EG CPCM was numerical simulated by finite element analysis software ABAQUS. Numerical simulation results revealed that EG could notably enhance the heat transfer performance of MP-MS eutectic mixture. The heat transfer rate and phase change reaction rate of MP-MS/EG CPCM were 14 times and 3 times that of MP-MS eutectic mixture, respectively.

The paper deals with the mathematical model of the multi-layer wall containing the phase change material (PCM). The model utilizes the effective heat capacity method for modeling the latent heat of phase change and the control volume method is used for the discretization of the model. The utilization of the model is then demonstrated on the problem of the optimal design of the multi-layer wall with the PCM. The TMY2 data for the city of Brno were used in simulations as operational conditions. The main attention is aimed at the determination of the optimal thickness of the PCM layer for the multi-layer wall design with various thicknesses of the masonry.
