Thermal Energy Storage System Using Nano Material Doped Paraffin Wax

Mechanical Engineering

Thermal energy storage systems play a vital role in the efficient management of energy resources, particularly in renewable energy applications. Paraffin wax is commonly used as a phase change material (PCM) due to its favorable thermal properties, including a high latent heat of fusion and a stable melting point. This research paper explores the enhancement of thermal energy storage systems through the incorporation of nano materials into paraffin wax. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems are critical for improving energy efficiency and managing energy supply and demand. The study investigates the thermal properties, phase change behavior, and overall performance of paraffin wax when doped with various nano materials. The findings indicate that the addition of nano materials significantly improves the thermal conductivity and heat storage capacity of paraffin wax, thereby enhancing the efficiency of thermal energy storage systems.
