Thermal energy storage of HFO-1336-mzz(Z)/MOF-200 and MM/MOF-200 nanofluids: A molecular simulation study Biyu Jing,Guanglin Jiang, Yu Liu

Abstract

The mutual conversion of heat energy and surface energy during the adsorption and desorption of working fluids on the surface of nano-porous materials can improve the heat storage capacity for energy storage. In this paper, the energy storage properties of two industrial fluids, HFO-1336mzz(Z) and Hexamethyldisiloxane(MM),with MOF-200 nanoparticle, were investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulations and grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. It shows that the adsorption capacity of HFO-1336mzz(Z) in MOF is higher than that of MM. Moreover, the increment ratio of thermal energy storage properties of HFO-1336mzz(Z)/MOF-200 mixture is better than that of MM/MOF-5 mixture.
