Impact of Fusion Temperature on Hydrothermal Features of Flow within an Annulus Loaded with Nanoencapsulated Phase Change Materials (NEPCMs) during Natural Convection Process

A new type of nanofluids is nanoencapsulated phase change materials (NEPCMs), where nanoparticles are made of a shell and a core. In the current study, characteristics of free convection flow, entropy generation, and heat transfer of NEPCMs in an enclosure are investigated. The enclosure is an annul...
