Abstract
This work comprised of Paraffin wax as phase change material mixed/doped with functionalized graphene (hydroxyl group) for countering the poor thermal conductivity of the pristine phase change material. Firstly, Experiments were conducted on Thermal energy storage system during charging (melting) of the doped PCM. The main outcomes of these experiments were that as the volume concentrations of doped PCM and flow rate of the heat transfer fluid (HTF) were increased the charging time decreases along with increments in PCM temperature and accumulated energies. In case of OH functionalized graphene mixed with paraffin wax the charging time decreases by 38.4% to 84.61% for the HTF flow rate 25 ml/s over pure paraffin wax. Secondly, the advanced functional materials i.e., Paraffin wax mixed with functionalized hydroxyl group graphene was characterized by FTIR, XRD, TGA, DSC and FESEM, . The latent heat of melting obtained was 179.36 J/g for 1% graphene doping by DSC.
