Resource - Paraffin Composites
Description
Paraffin is a phase change materials (PCMs) and is a mixture of straight-chain n-alkanes with the general formula CH3-(CH2)n-CH3. Paraffin is a name that is commonly used to denote a group of saturated alkane hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2, where “n” is greater than 20. They are in both solid and liquid forms. Paraffins typically have high latent heat capacity. If the length of the chain increases, the melting ranges of waxes also increase. As a PCM that isothermally absorbs heat energy, it changes from solid to liquid. Paraffin is housed in a special metal matrix xposed to the space environment to radiate heat energy efficiently into space.
