Synthesis, characterization and performance testing of lauric acid methyl ester as phase change material for low temperature energy storage
Methyl Laurate (Lauric Acid Methyl Ester) was synthesized by means of acid catalyzed Fischer esterification at an elevated temperature from Lauric Acid. The product is then characterized with FT-IR, GC/MS and FT-NMR to determine and verify its purity. The methyl laurate product is then subjected to...
