Observation

References

Natural convection

51.16 °C,

Improved conductivity, Partial phase change

Current study

Pure PCM

(paraffin only) Nano-Enhanced PCM (10% Al2O3),

47.81 °C,

Hybrid BTMS

44.80 °C

(PCM + Counterflow water cooling)

40.81 °C

Air cooling (Fan-based)

55–60 °C

Limited by the low heat capacity of air

2

PCM-only (paraffin)

48–50 °C

Effective up to 1–2 C only

25

Liquid cooling (water)

42–44 °C

High thermal control but energy-intensive

26

Advanced nanofluid-based cooling

39–41 °C

Require pump power and nanofluid management
