AB - The Mg/2.4 wt.% CNP composite has a specific heat capacity improvement of 174%, according to DSC testing results. The TGA data reveals a 2.4% decrease in mass when comparing the Mg/2.4 wt.% CNP composite to pure Mg. The coefficient of heat transfer, the effectiveness of the fin, and the heat conduction via fin were all evaluated with a pin-fin transferring of heat under conditions of both free and forced convection. When carbon nanoplatelets are added to a Mg matrix, the resulting composites have better heat transfer characteristics when subjected to both natural and artificial convection.
