Solar energy storage and release application of water-phase change material- (SnO2-TaC) and (SnO2–SiC) nanoparticles system

Abstract

<p>The thermal energy storage and release application of water- phase change material- (SnO<sub>2</sub>-TaC) and (SnO<sub>2</sub>–SiC) nanoparticles system has been investigated for cooling and heating applications. The water - polyethylene glycolwith (SnO<sub>2</sub>-TaC) and (SnO<sub>2</sub>–SiC) nanoparticles have been used. The results showed that the melting and solidification times for storage and release of thermal energy of water - polyethylene glycoldecrease with increase in(SnO<sub>2</sub>-TaC) and (SnO<sub>2</sub>–SiC) nanoparticles concentrations. The melting and solidification times decrease with increasing of TaC nanoparticles concentrations to water-polyethylene glycol/SnO<sub>2</sub>nanofluidand SiC nanoparticles concentrations to water-polyethylene glycol/SnO<sub>2</sub>nanofluid.<strong></strong></p>
