Abstract
Thermal energy storage (TES) is an increasing field of science. Smart Rocks are a form of latent heat TES that uses phase change material (PCM). Paraffin, the PCM, has a low thermal conductivity and needs additives to be useful as a form of TES. The research for Smart Rocks looks at the effect of adding TiO2, ZnCl2, and Zn metal as additives to increase the thermal conductivity of paraffin.
