Phase change nanocomposites were prepared by dispersing pretreated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into melting paraffin wax (PW). Intensive sonication was used to make well dispersed and homogeneous composites. The thermal properties have been investigated using differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) and transient short-hot-wire method. The latent heat thermal energy storage capacity, Ls and melting point , Tm of the nanocomposites decreases with the mass fraction of CNTs, ϕw. The nanocomposite with CNT mass fraction of 2% lowers Tm by about 1°C and decreases Ls by about 2kJ∕kg, compared with pure PW. The thermal conductivity of...
