Thermal conductivity enhancement of lauric acid phase change nanocomposite with graphene nanoplatelets

Thermal properties measurement and heat storage analysis of paraffinnanoparticles composites phase change material: Comparison and optimization

“…K) limits their rate of thermal storage and release. To overcome this issue, finned configurations and high thermal conductivity substances, such as carbon fibers and metal matrix are normally added into PCM [7][8][9][10]. Jifen Wang et al [11] investigated the improvement in thermal properties of paraffin waxes by addition of TiO 2 nanoparticles.…”

Thermal properties and morphologies of MA–SA eutectics/CNTs as composite PCMs in thermal energy storage

“…As seen in the Table 4 There are several theoretical and empirical models to predict the thermal conductivity of two-phase composites [42]. Harish et al [43,44] analyzed experimental thermal conductivity results based on the modified effective medium theory (EMT) model. The EMT model calculations show that the thermal conductivity enhancement is highly sensitive to the thermal interface resistance and the particle aspect ratio more than the thermal conductivity of particle itself.…”

The effects of various carbon nanofillers on the thermal properties of paraffin for energy storage applications

“…A maximum enhancement of 8 % in thermal conductivity was achieved for 1 mass% MWCNTs. Harish et al [12] found that the inclusion of GNPs enhances the thermal conductivity of PCM by 230 % at a loading of 1 vol%. Li et al [13] found the thermal conductivity of stearic acid was improved by 11.4 % and the phase change enthalpy was reduced by 6.7 % when adding 3.0 mass% MWCNT.…”
