Nano-PCM filled energy storage system for solar-thermal applications (2018, background): “[19] experimentally and numerically investigated the melting of nano-PCM (CuO nanoparticles dispersed in n-octadecane PCM) filled cylindrical annulus under constant heat flux condition at the inner cylinder and adiabatic condition at the outer cylinder.”
Temperature-dependent thermal properties of a paraffin phase change material embedded with herringbone style graphite nanofibers (2015, background): “This phenomenon is not directly accounted for in some of the current computational simulations of solid– liquid phase change thermal energy storage systems [55], while others assume that the thermal conductivity of the PCM in its liquid phase scales linearly with increasing volume fraction of nanofi”
Nano-enhanced phase change materials for improved building performance (2016, background): “the melting rate in the top region at the later stage of the melting process [81, 82].”
