Thermal effects on pressure-induced infiltration of a nanoporous system

摘要

Thermal effects on the energy absorption efficiency of a system consisting of hydrophobic mesoporous silica particles immersed in water have been investigated. As the temperature increases, although the infiltration pressure decreases only slightly and the accessible pore volume remains nearly constant, the system recoverability can be significantly improved, primarily due to an increase in outflow pressure. The sequence of changing pressure and temperature has little influence on the system performance.
