Development of Heat Transfer Surface Area Enhancements: A Test Facility for New Heat Exchanger Designs

Enhancing the heat transfer surface by usage of cellular metal structures, such as foams or wire structures, might allow enlarging the surface area, increasing the heat transfer coefficients, decreasing the material utilization, and enabling the flexibility of different geometrical dimensions. Howev...
