Thermal energy storage systems store intermittent solar to supply heat during non-solar hours. However, they often exhibit poor thermal conductivity, hindering efficient and release. The purpose of this study is enhance the phase change characteristics a paraffin wax-based latent system using hybrid nanocomposite while increasing its conductivity. Present integrate nanomaterials into material (paraffin wax) for faster release in form heat. Steatite copper oxide are chosen as nanomaterial additives experimental investigation. charging discharging studied four different cases involving pure wax (case 1), with 10 wt% steatite 2), 3), 5 4). rates were studied. solidification rate improved addition nanomaterials. 3) outperformed other cases, showing best transfer ability achieving an overall fusion time 90 min. Case 3 was found be most thermally effective among cases. A significant finding enhanced performance LHS CuO nanocomposites, which hold great potential practical applications. These include systems, where critical, industrial recovery optimizing can significantly improve utilization sustainability.
