Solid-Liquid Phase Diagram of the Dimethyl + Dipropyl Adipates System: Application to Low-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage.

ABSTRACT: The present study is the continuation of our research work on di-n-alkyl adipates and their potential as phase change materials (PCM) for low-temperature thermal energy storage (TES). The solid-liquid phase diagram for the binary system composed of dimethyl adipate (DMA) and dipropyl adipate (DPA) is presented and analysed. In a previous study, we explored a particular binary system of n-alkyl adipates, namely diethyl and dibutyl adipates, and demonstrated that these compounds possess underappreciated potential as PCMs at sub-zero temperatures. The goal of the current work is to expand on this research by contributing new phase equilibrium data and deepening our understanding of the fundamental thermodynamics governing low-temperature phase behaviour in di-n-alkyl-adip
