Magnetically stirring enhanced thermal performance of phase change material

Here we report an active method to enhance the thermal performance of phase change material (PCM) based on magnetically-stirring method. The magnetic bead with small size embedded in the container filled with octadecanol, is driven to rotate by rotating magnetic field, and induce the forced convecti...
