Abstract

Abstract: Present work focuses on the chemical synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticle which is further doped in phase changing material (paraffin) in different doping concentrations. Thereafter the thermo physical property of nano-enhanced phase-changing material is investigated through XRD, FTIR, DSC, EDAX XRD and TEM results show that The grain sizes of CuO NPs are in the range of 5 to 17 nm. Chemical composition and surface morphology are shown by EDAX and FESEM. DSC analysis shows that maximum augmentation in latent heat of fusion and the melting temperature of NEPCM occurs for 2% of doping concentration nonmaterial which further decreases dramatically over 2%. of concentration.
