PP--VV criticality, Joule--Thomson expansion, and holographic heat engine of charged Hayward-AdS black holes with a cloud of strings and perfect fluid dark matter

This paper investigates the extended thermodynamics of charged Hayward-AdS black holes surrounded by a cloud of strings and perfect fluid dark matter, demonstrating that these models exhibit van der Waals-like phase transitions, distinct Joule-Thomson expansion characteristics, and holographic heat engine efficiencies that are respectively enhanced by the cloud of strings and diminished by perfect fluid dark matter.
