Solar Cooking Applications Through Phase Change Materials
Published in Amritanshu Shukla, Atul Sharma, Pascal Henry Biwolé, Latent Heat-Based Thermal Energy Storage Systems, 2020
Atul Sharma, Abhishek Anand, Shailendra Singh, Amritanshu Shukla
Buddhi and Sahoo18 designed and fabricated a box-type solar cooker with latent heat storage concept. Authors used commercial-grade stearic acid (melting point 55.1°C, latent heat of fusion 160 kJ/kg) as a PCM for this research work. Authors also suggested that PCM is a good option for the solar cooking systems; however, they reported that high-temperature thermal energy storage (around 80°C) would be a more suitable option for the similar type of research work.

Stearic acid is a principal constituent of most hydrogenated fat and consists of an endogenous long chain of saturated fatty acids; it is also the principal component of lipids in plant and animal sources. It has better biocompatibility and lower toxicity than synthesized acids. It is accepted as a food additive in Europe.

The GORE DCB Catheter contains two excipients or inactive ingredients.Tromethamine (tris) is widely used as a component of buffer solutions and is also a common inactive ingredient in many intravenous and intravascular pharmaceutical solutions/injections.Stearic acid is widely used as a surfactant and softening agent in the production of cosmetics such as shampoos, soaps, and shaving cream products and in the preparation of dietary supplements. Stearic acid is a common inactive ingredient in many pharmaceutical preparations, including oral capsules/tablets, topical solutions/ointments/creams, vaginal tablets/creams, and subcutaneous implants.
