ABSTRACT
We report enhanced thermal conductivity (TC) in palmitic acid (PA)-di-methyl formamide (DMF) based organic phase change material (PCM) loaded with four different nano-inclusions, viz., carbon black nano powder (CBNP), multiwalled carbon nanotube, graphene nanoplatelets and |A-Al2O3. The phase transition temperature is tuned from !
