College of Engineering, University of Misan organized a symposium on the thermal performance of integrated concrete bricks by Qudamah Muhammad Qassim. The symposium reviewed the evaluation of the thermal performance of concrete bricks combined with phase-changing material (PCM) encapsulated in aluminum capsules. The symposium also reviewed that 7 types of PCM capsules of different shapes and sizes (cylindrical, square and rectangular) containing the same amount of PCM by (~145g) were studied and compared with ordinary concrete bricks in terms of several thermal parameters, including the amount of decrease in the temperature of the inner surface of the bricks and the amount of heat decrease in length during the day and night and the time delay of heat. The symposium demonstrated that the PCM material improved the thermal performance of all types of concrete bricks studied, as the internal surface temperature of the PCM-containing bricks decreased significantly during the peak period in the middle of the day compared to the usual concrete bricks. The symposium highlighted that the best thermal performance was recorded for bricks containing a number of small and many capsules of square section compared to bricks containing few and large capsules, as the average of the highest reduction in the temperature of the inner surface of the bricks reached 1.88 degrees Celsius, while the heat reduction during the bricks at night and day was by 0.901.
