Heat transfer performance study of gypsum boards integrated with carbon nanotubes-hydrated salts phase change materials: An experimental and numerical study

Key Points

• Heat transfer performance improves significantly with the integration of carbon nanotubes and phase change materials.
• The experimental analysis measured thermal properties and showed a notable enhancement in heat management—up to 25% improvement in response time.
• Observational analysis and numerical simulations assess heat transfer in gypsum boards with integrated materials over varied conditions.
• This research may enable more efficient building materials, but application in real-world settings requires further validation.
