Abstract

This present work contributes to the improvement in thermal energy storage capacity of an all glass evacuated tube solar water heater by integrating it with a phase change material PCM and with a nanocomposite phase change material NCPCM .. Paraffin wax as PCM and a nanocomposite of paraffin wax with 1.0 mass GeO2 nanoparticles as NCPCM had been used during the experiments. Three different cases, namely, without PCM, with PCM, and with NCPCM, were considered. The testing procedure involved the observation of total temperature variation in the tank water from 6.00 a.m. to 6.00 a.m. of next morning.OBJECTIVEThe main objective of my project is to increase the performance of solar water heater integrated storage tank with PCM and NCPCM which would serve the varying demands.
