Last Thursday we set up a phase change material using a pipe filled up with wax and sealed both ends.

Today we will try our second test.
The second test was not a success since there was a lick on one end of the cylindrical pipe. The reason is because the red silicon applied to seal both ends did not hold. The temperature went up too fast after 300 degrees Fahrenheit because of the wax melting out of the pipe and accidentally increasing the temperature out of the pipe. Hopefully we try something better with the aluminum pipe.
