This paper investigates the photothermal conversion performance of an innovative heat transfer fluid containing nano-encapsulated phase chanage material (PCM) with metallic shell materials in a solar thermal energy storage system. The influences thickness, core size, type, PCM mass and volume concentrations on medium are investigated compared. results show that rates water-based Ag, Au, Cu Al nanofluids 6.89, 5.86, 7.05 6.99 W, respectively, while slurries formed by adding paraffin@Ag, nano capsules to pure water enhance 6.18, 13.38, 10.8 11.33 %, respectively. nanoparticle-based further augment temperature gains enhancing radiation capture capability medium. Specifically, depending concentration PCM, capacity paraffin@Cu slurry is augmented up 290 %. As thickness Ag particles also decreases from 8 2 nm, it augments slurry's ability for 7 enhancement dimensions capsules, however, causes surface area-to-volume ratio (SA:V) reduce clustering. Therefore, behaviour Paraffin@Cu diminished 5 % as size enhances 10 40 nm. Further, augmentation surprisingly reduces Finally, paraffin-based solid experimentally tested validation specific model at various wind speeds radiation.

Optimizing Gaussian process regression (GPR) hyperparameters with three metaheuristic algorithms for viscosity prediction of suspensions containing microencapsulated PCMs

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(1)

Abstract Suspensions containing microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) play a crucial role in thermal energy storage (TES) systems and have applications building materials, textiles, cooling systems. This study focuses on accurately predicting the dynamic viscosity, critical thermophysical property, of suspensions MPCMs MXene particles using Gaussian process regression (GPR). Twelve hyperparameters (HPs) GPR are analyzed separately classified into three groups based their importance. Three metaheuristic algorithms, namely genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), marine predators (MPA), employed to optimize HPs. Optimizing four most significant (covariance function, basis standardization, sigma) within first group any algorithms resulted excellent outcomes. All achieved reasonable R-value (0.9983), demonstrating effectiveness this context. The second explored impact including additional, moderate-significant HPs, such as fit method, predict method optimizer. While resulting models showed some improvement over group, PSO-based model exhibited noteworthy enhancement, achieving higher (0.99834). Finally, third was examine potential interactions between all twelve comprehensive approach, employing GA, yielded an optimized with highest level target compliance, reflected by impressive 0.999224. developed cost-effective efficient solution reduce laboratory costs for various systems, from TES management.

Improving the utilization of thermal energy is crucial in world nowadays due to high levels consumption. One way achieve this use phase change materials (PCMs) as storage media, which can be used regulate temperature or provide heating/cooling various applications. However, PCMs have limitations like low conductivity, leakage, and corrosion. To overcome these challenges, are encapsulated into microencapsulated (MEPCMs) capsules/fibers. This encapsulation prevents from leakage corrosion issues, microcapsules/fibers act conduits for heat transfer, enabling efficient exchange between PCM its surroundings. Microfluidics-based MEPCMs attracted intensive attention over past decade exquisite control flow conditions size microcapsules. review paper aims an overview state-of-art progress microfluidics-based PCMs. The principle method preparing MEPCM capsules/fibers using microfluidic technology elaborated, followed by analysis their microstructure characteristics. Meanwhile, applications fields building conservation, textiles, military aviation, solar utilization, bioengineering summarized. Finally, perspectives on discussed.
