Low-grade RC beams strengthened with TRM composite based on basalt, carbon and steel textiles: Experimental and analytical study
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
This study develops an easy-to-conduct numerical calculation method to assess the effect of Textile Reinforced Mortar when used as externally bonded flexural strengthening technique in low-grade reinforced concrete beams ...
Long-term assessment of the thermal stability of sodium nitrate-urea eutectic phase change material
(Elsevier, 2021-09-15)
The eutectic mixture formed by urea and sodium nitrate can be an interesting candidate for use as a phase change material for thermal energy storage in space heating and domestic hot water applications. It shows a melting ...
Thermal endurance of xylitol as a phase change material for thermal energy storage applications
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
Xylitol shares the good thermophysical properties of other sugar alcohols that are candidates for thermal storage purposes, with one singularity: it shows noticeable supercooling coupled with a low crystallization rate. ...
A comprehensive study of the phase segregation of a urea-based phase change material tested under thermal cycling conditions
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
Eutectic mixtures are used as PCMs due to the possibility to tailor the melting temperatures and mainly because the phase transition occurs at a unique temperature. Eutectic mixtures are assumed to be congruent melting and ...
