Table 5 Comparison of the present study with the previous study.
BTMS method | Peak temperature at 3 C | 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 | |
PCM-only (paraffin) | 48–50 °C | Effective up to 1–2 C only | |
Liquid cooling (water) | 42–44 °C | High thermal control but energy-intensive | |
Advanced nanofluid-based cooling | 39–41 °C | Require pump power and nanofluid management |
