“…This complex process, with almost 20 parameters, is generally applied in the pharmaceutical industry [192]. Micro-processes (drying, droplet impact and spreading, and stickiness) are identified [193], which play a vital role in the efficiency of this method. This process is cost economic and gives higher production volume [164].…”

Phase change materials (PCMs) have been identified as potential candidates for building energy optimization by increasing the thermal mass of buildings. The increased thermal mass results in a drop in the cooling/heating loads, thus decreasing the energy demand in buildings. However, direct incorporation of PCMs into building elements undermines their structural performance, thereby posing a challenge for building integrity. In order to retain/improve building structural performance, as well as improving energy performance, micro-encapsulated PCMs are integrated into building materials. The integration of microencapsulation PCMs into building materials solves the PCM leakage problem and assures a good bond with building materials to achieve better structural performance. The aim of this article is to identify the optimum micro-encapsulation methods and materials for improving the energy, structural and safety performance of buildings. The article reviews the characteristics of micro-encapsulated PCMs relevant to building integration, focusing on safety rating, structural implications, and energy performance. The article uncovers the optimum combinations of the shell (encapsulant) and core (PCM) materials along with encapsulation methods by evaluating their merits and demerits.

“…The geometry of this spray zone can be approximated by a biconical shape. Werner et al (2007) proposed a list of 10 micro-level processes relevant for coating of food powders. Terrazas-Velarde et al (2009) presented a stochastic model for fluidized bed granulation where the micro-process kinetics of binder addition, particle collision, particle wetting, agglomeration/rebound, drying of deposited droplets and breakage are considered individually.…”

“…Since so far operating conditions and the equipment geometry have been developed empirically, the fundamental physical mechanisms governing the process on the micro scale are not well understood (Werner et al, 2007;Turton, 2008). Experimental results are mostly specific to material and equipment selection.…”

“…From this---and the assumption of no internal temperature gradients---the droplet temperature is evolved. The incorporation of this algorithm was tested by simulating the evaporation of a pure water droplet and comparing predicted mass and temperature histories with those measured by Werner (2005), (Fig. 5).…”
