Fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are composite materials of plastics reinforced with fibres. Cars, sea, aeronautics, and foundation projects progressively utilize fibre-reinforced polymers. This study aims to study the effect of adding multiwalled nanotubes fillers into the hybridized jute-glass FRP composites and their relative properties. This study uses multiwalled nanotubes (MWCNTs), and particles-hybrid jute-glass composites containing jute fibre chopped layer mats, woven glass mats, epoxy resin, and multiwalled nanotubes fillers were created using the hand layup method. After adding multiwalled nanotubes fillers in various weight proportions, the mechanical behaviours of fibre-reinforced polymers were analysed. The mechanical behaviours of laminated composites were tested using the ASTM standard; the following properties are tensile, flexural, and impact strength. The multiwalled nanotubes with 6% wt. attained the maximum mechanical properties compared to the 2 and 4 wt. % of MWCNTs. The E-based specimen contributes the most to the different types of specimens, with a contribution of 24.21% for tensile, 25.03% for flexural, and 24.56% for impact. The microstructures of hybrid composites were studied using a scanning electron microscope.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of thermal stratification on thermal energy storage (TES) systems during the charging process and choose suitable phase change materials (PCMs) for various layers. The research revealed that fiberglass insulation of 60 mm thick significantly decreased natural convection losses and increased the TES system's potential for energy recovery. For constant heat load, the charging time increased with increasing HTF inlet temperature, but remained constant for the first TES layer at a specified flow rate, resulting in increased storage capacity with minimal heat loss to the surroundings. The solar collector efficiency was shown to be dependent on solar radiation and collector efficiency, with peak efficiency seen at specified periods. The lowest melting point of PCMs at each layer 68°C, 62.7°C, 57°C, and 50°C was chosen based on temperature graphs. For comparing stratification behavior, the “MIX” number versus non‐dimensional charging time plot was effective. Additional experiments are needed to assess the selected PCMs' charging and discharging properties.
