Abstract
This book gives an in-depth look at nano-enhanced phase change materials (PCMs) and their applications in a variety of disciplines. The chapters cover the principles of PCMs, as well as their production and characterization, as well as the effect of nanoparticles on their thermophysical properties. The book also covers the application of nanostructure-based colloidal suspensions for thermal augmentation, as well as theoretical studies, correlations for forecasting attributes, and evaluation methodologies. It also looks at how nano-enhanced PCMs can be used in solar energy, buildings, electronic gadgets, and fabrics. Finally, the book discusses the obstacles and problems in designing nano-enhanced PCMs, as well as the promise of soft computing tools, such as artificial intelligence algorithms, for forecasting and evaluating the performance of these materials.
