Complementary computational and experimental investigations of steady, laminar, fluid flow and heat transfer in a vertical closed-loop thermosyphon operating with slurries of a microencapsulated phase-change material (MCPCM) suspended in distilled water are presented. The MCPCM particles consisted of a solid-liquid phase-change material (PCM) encapsulated in a polymer resin shell. Their effective diameter was in the range 0.5 􀈝m to 12.5 􀈝m, and had a mean value of 2.5 􀈝m. Tests conducted with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) yielded the following data: starting with the PCM in its solid state, during monotonic heating, its melting starts gradually at about 20.0 °C, occurs mainly between 25.8 °C to 28.6 °C, and is completed by about 32.5 °C; during cooling after complete melting, supercooling of the liquid PCM to a temperature of about 18.1 °C is required for the initiation of freezing, which is then completed by about 15.0 °C; if cooling is started after only partial melting, no supercooling is required to start the freezing process; and the latent heat of fusion of the encapsulated PCM is 129.5 kJ/kg.
