Abstract This research explores the numerical investigation of melting processes in duplex and triplex tube latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems utilizing phase change material (PCM) enhanced with nickel foam MXene nanoparticles. By incorporating a foam/PCM/MXene (5% v/v) composite, scrutinizes effects on characteristics, Stefan Fourier numbers, behavior both (DuT-TES) (TrT-TES) configurations. A comprehensive analysis encompassing liquid fraction, temperature contours across varying durations, exergy destruction, exergetic efficiency, system stored is conducted. The findings indicate that employing foam/PCM–MXene composite exhibit superior performance compared to those foam/PCM or pure PCM, resulting notable reduction time. Furthermore, it observed surpasses cetyl alcohol PCM. In TrT-TES systems, occurs 58.82% faster than DuT-TES systems. 4.55% 3.69% greater, respectively, also achieves 44.86% higher efficiency at 90 s foam/PCM. Notably, process 60.26% DuT-TES. Consequently, demonstrate potential for
