Experimental Study of an Enhanced Phase Change Material of Paraffin/Expanded Graphite/Nano-Metal Particles for a Personal Cooling System

A composite phase change material (PCM) was prepared by incorporating paraffin (PA) with expanded graphite (EG) and nano-metal particles to improve the thermal conductivity and reduce the leakage performance of PA once it melts and, consequently, develop a more efficient PCM for a personal phase cha...
