Effects of position of semi-circular body on melting of a novel B4C/RT44HC PCM nanocomposite in a closed space by Ezgi Gurgenc, Muhammed Gur, Hakan Cosanay, Turan Gurgenc, Hakan F. Oztop

“…The primary objective is to determine how the position of these adiabatic bodies influences the melting behavior, thermal conductivity, and energy storage capacity of the PCM. Through detailed computational modeling using the finite volume method and experimental validation, the research reveals that incorporating B4C nanoparticles significantly improves thermal performance, achieving up to a 69.65 % increase in thermal conductivity and a 19.68 % enhancement in energy storage capacity compared to pure PCM. …”
