...Marhama Jelita; Habibis Saleh Purpose Optimizing thermal management in systems with multiple heat sources, such as in electronics cooling, requires innovative coolants. Nano-encapsulated phase change materials (NEPCMs) offer superior thermal energy storage via latent heat, but their interaction...

... and thermal efficiency of PCM-based energy storage systems to facilitate the design of more efficient energy storage solutions. Design/methodology/approach The analysis is conducted on a top-heated rectangular thermal system filled with pure PCM and nanoparticle-enhanced PCM (NePCM) mixed with 0.01% Wt...

... and energy storage. Numerical investigations were conducted on six novel models of PCM-based hybrid MCHSs using ANSYS-FLUENT. The hydrothermal characteristics of six PCM-based hybrid MCHS models were analyzed and compared with an MCHS model without PCM. Findings The numerical model used for this study...
