    Highly combustible elements like beryllium, lithium, Al, Mg, and Zn have the highest combustion, increasing the heat in explosives and propellants. Al can be used because of its greater avail-ability. Reducing the size of Al nanoparticle (NP) increases the combustion rate and decreases the combustion time. This paper studied the effect of initial conditions on the phase transition (PT) and atomic stability times of Fe-coated-aluminium hydride (AlH3) NPs. The molecular dynamics (MD) technique was used in this research. The microscopic behavior of structures was studied by density (Den.), velocity (Vel.), and temperature (Tem.) profiles. Heat flux (HF), PT, and the atomic stability of the structure were examined at different initial pressures (IP) and initial temperatures (IT). According to the achieved results, Den., Vel., and Tem. values had a maximum value of 0.025 atoms/angstrom 3, 0.026 angstrom/ps, and 603 K. By increasing IT in the simulation box to 350 K, HF in the samples increases to 75.31 W/m2. Moreover, the PT time and atomic stability time by increasing IP reach to 5.93 ns and 8.96 ns, respectively. Regarding the importance of the phe-nomenon of heat transfer and PT of nanofluids (NFs), the findings of this study are predicted to be useful in various industries, including medicine, agriculture, and others.
