Abstract
Calorimetric measurements have been performed on mixtures of Glauber's salt and borax and Glauber's salt, borax and attapulgite clay (the last serves as a thickener) in order to compare the thermal energy storage capacity of the unthickened mixture to the thickened as a function of thermal cycling. The results show a significant improvement in performance of the thickened mixture over that of the Glauber's salt and borax mixture. However, the thickened mixture shows a decline in performance with thermal cycling; several hypotheses to rationalize the decline are presented, tested and discussed.
