Demands for energy are growing as the economy grows at an accelerating pace. Due to the fast depletion of non-renewable resources, conservation of energy has been a major focus for scholars. To save fossil fuels, thermal energy storage is one of the most efficient ways of storing waste heat energy from the large field of heat exchangers. With its large latent heat capacity at low temperatures, phase transition material may effectively and efficiently store thermal energy. An energy storage medium called PCM is being tested in this study to see how it impacts the heat transfer rate of a spiral tube heat exchanger. Spiral wired tube heat exchanger performance is improved in this work by including nanoparticles such as Al2O3 into the PCM. Analytical research was conducted utilising simulation tools and software in order to get the final findings.
