TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of adding graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) as thermally conductive nanofillers was investigated experimentally, and the composite PCM samples were prepared by dispersing GNPs in liquid eicosane at various loadings.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental assessment was performed on the thermal energy storage performance of a novel family of paraffin-based composite phase change materials (PCMs) filled with hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-phase fractal model was proposed for dry aerated concrete samples, and then an extension to a three-phase model was developed by considering the presence of water phase in the pores for unsaturated, moist samples.

TL;DR: In this paper, the supercooling degree and latent heat of crystallization of aqueous nanofluids in the presence of two types of high aspect ratio carbon nano-additives, i.e., carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), was characterized by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

TL;DR: In this article, a hot water system based on computer server waste heat utilization is presented, where the heat exchange effect with the small temperature difference and the high heat flow on the local heating element of the server is achieved through the micro-channel pipe panel heat pipe exchanger, generated effective grade hot water is utilized through effective system pipeline circulation, and the energy consumption of the system is greatly reduced.
