Double-Layer Metal Foams for Further Heat Transfer Enhancement in a Channel: An Analytical Study
A local thermal non-equilibrium analysis of heat and fluid flow in a channel fully filled with aluminum foam is performed for three cases: (a) pore density of 5 PPI (pore per inch), (b) pore density of 40 PPI, and (c) two different layers of 5 and 40 PPI. The dimensionless forms of fully developed h...
