International Journal of Mathematics in Operational Research (IJMOR), Vol. 19, No. 4, 2021

Abstract: The temperature that a car can reach inside is between 25°C to 40°C in certain environmental circumstances, for this reason, studies have been carried out in the field of materials science that allows controlling the interior environment of a car. This study proposes the use of paraffin as PCM, which was chosen through multi-criteria given its melting point that is 37°C. The result of simulating this material as a heat insulator is that in a 50°C of incidence in the roof of a vehicle, the internal temperature of the part is kept in 20°C.
