Investigation on thermophysical properties of metallic oxide nanoparticle dispersed in fatty acid

The energy sector is witnessing a gradual shift towards renewable energy sources in the past few decades. Solar energy is the most widely harnessed one although it exhibits unevenness in distribution. Integrating latent heat storage materials into Photovoltaic systems could function as thermal stora...

description The energy sector is witnessing a gradual shift towards renewable energy sources in the past few decades.
