TL;DR: Nanoparticle-enhanced phase change materials have engrossed augmenting consideration to remove the main limitation of PCMs in various industrial uses as mentioned in this paper, and the use of PCM as well as utilize of nanoparticles to intensify energy performance and effective thermal management.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive overview of TES technologies using PCM throughout discharging and charging is presented, where the authors scrutinize the used techniques for augmenting performance for non-power plants and PCM applications, including extended surfaces, encapsulation, different ways of augmenting the thermal features, and applying of multiple PCMs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the benefits of fins and dispersing nanomaterial were employed to achieve quickest solidification, and three main cases were scrutinized with employ of gravity term, two finned tank have no fins while two other cases have fins with different arrangement.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of combining nanoparticles and fin on the period of various times of Phase Change Material (PCM) solidification and melting process was scrutinized. And the results indicate that the presence of triangular fins can enhance solidification rate about 40.75% and with inclusion of nanoparticles, solidification time declines about 44.88%.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of adding Al2O3 nanoparticles with concentration of 0 and 0.05 as well as influence of geometry, fin installation, and other influential factors on these processes were investigated.
