Preparation and characterization of nano‐enhanced myristic acid using metal oxide nanoparticles for thermal energy storage

Published: Aug 29, 2019
Abstract
Fatty acids have been broadly used as phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage. However, low thermal conductivity limits their performances. This paper investigates the influence of metal oxide nanoparticle addition on myristic acid (MA) as nano-enhanced PCM (NEPCM). Stability, chemical, and thermal properties were considered. Four types of nanoaprticles, TiO2, CuO, Al2O3, and ZnO, were dispersed in MA at 0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2 wt%....
