文摘

Nanoparticles are used in both heat transfer fluid and phase change material. Statistical methods are used to study effects of operational parameters. Effect of nanoparticles in the PCM is more significant than that in the HTF. There is a critical value for nanoparticle concentration in the PCM. A nonlinear regression model is developed to predict liquid fraction of PCM.
