Abstract

The research focuses on swelling and shrinkage during cycling of a thermochemical material. Potassium carbonate has been cycled and the change in size has been monitored over subsequent cycles with the help of in-situ measurement in the micro-climate chamber. The experiments have been performed for different operating conditions and the resultant images were processed to calculate the equivalent diameter of the salt grains. Micro -CT scans were performed for both the samples to compare the two-dimensional results from in-situ experiments to a complete three-dimensional analysis.
