Thermal Conductivity Enhancement of Iraqi Origin Paraffin Wax by Nano-Alumina

Abstract   Paraffin wax is utilized for the heat storage applications taking advantage from the high stored latent heat during the phase change (from solid to fluid) period. What isn't right with this procedure is that the wax has a little heat transfer rate because of its low thermal co...
