Investigation and optimization of PCM melting with nanoparticle in a multi-tube thermal energy storage system

In this work numerically, the efficacy of dispersion of copper-oxide-nanoparticles (CuO) with different volume fractions on the melting performance of paraffin RT82 as phase-change-material (PCM) in a multi-tube heat exchanger have been discussed. The efficacy of nanoparticle combination on the flow...
