A nanoparticles composite with phase change material (paraffin wax) was prepared using alumina (Al2O3) as a surfactant to improve the dispersion of the Al2O3 nanoparticles with (0.5, 1, 3, 5) wt. % in paraffin wax with an Al2O3. To evaluate the efficiency of the prepared Phase Change Material (PCMs), the effective thermal conductivity values in the liquid state at a temperature of 60 °C. The heat storage behavior of the samples was investigated and their melting temperature, latent heat, and thermal reliability were determined. The results showed that the effective thermal conductivity enhancement ratios were 1.5 %, 3 %, 9 % and 15 % for the samples of 0.5 wt. %, 1 wt. %, 3 wt. % and 5 wt. %, respectively. In addition, the dynamic viscosity of the paraffin wax increases excessively with increasing the concentration nanoparticles with paraffin wax. Thus, the results indicate that there is an acceptable dispersion for Al2O3 nanoparticles in paraffin wax in concentration by 1 wt. %.
