Description

This Excel workbook is designed to calculate the properties of eutectic mixtures of organic phase change materials (PCMs). It contains data for 15 fatty acid PCMs that are used to generate the compositions, latent heats of fusion and melting temperatures of 105 binary mixtures of fatty acids. Default values can be modified by the user and the current database can be expanded to include other PCMs and generate properties of their mixtures. More details can be found in the worksheet "Disclaimer and Workbook Info" included in the workbook and in the published manuscript: S. Kahwaji, M.A. White, Prediction of the Properties of Eutectic Organic Phase Change Materials, Thermochim. Acta. 660 (2017) 94–100. http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0040603117303428
