Comparative experiments were conducted in order to investigate the effects of the mass flow rate and wall heating flux on the cooling performance of water-based suspensions of microencapsulated phase change material (MEPCM) flowing through rectangular minichannels. MEPCM particles with an average size of 4.97 μm were used to form suspensions with mass concentrations ranging from 0% to 20%. The comparative experiments were performed for varying mass flow rates in the laminar region and varying thermal conditions. It was found out that the mass flow rate and wall heating flux play a significant role in the cooling performance of MEPCM suspensions. It is believed that the decreased thermal conductivity of MEPCM suspensions with the concentration and the different thermally developing flow patterns are mainly responsible for the dependence of the cooling performance of MEPCM suspensions of those parameters.

Jute bags are widely used to carry food grains and other materials that may be prone to quality deterioration due to thermal fluctuation. Thermal and moisture properties play a significant role in the packaging materials in the form of a container. This study deals with the effect of microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) with hydrophobic binder on thermal and moisture management properties of jute fabric. Jute fabric was treated with MPCM by pad-dry-cure method. The treated sample was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning colorimeter (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM), moisture management tester (MMT), and air permeability tester. The results revealed that MPCM treated jute fabric shows greater thermal stability and heat absorption ability of 10.58 J/g while changing from solid to liquid phase. The SEM image ensures even distribution of MPCMs on fabric surface and surface roughness was also observed using image processing software. The air permeability was found to decrease whereas the water repellency enhanced in the developed sample.
