Abstract
⺠Inward solidification model of a sphere for a single encapsulated phase change material particle is built. ⺠An effective numerical method is developed and validated by an iterative analytical series solution. ⺠The evolution of solidification and the moving front surface are predicted for different size particles. ⺠The model explains the rapid solidification of microencapsulated Paraffin particles under small Stefan numbers.
