Heat exchangers embedded with metal foam are drawing increasing attention in the thermal
application field, due to the performance of low density, large ratio of surface area to volume …

The cross‐flow heat exchanger involves a tractor moving between two fluids that flow in a
direction perpendicular to each other, and one of the fluids is often a liquid and the other is a …

This paper analyses the behavior of heat exchangers with metal foam. A numerical study in
a laminar steady state two-dimensional model is provided to evaluate the thermal-fluid …

Metal foam heat exchangers have attracted a great deal of interest in numerous engineering
fields due to their superior thermal capabilities. In the present study, the heat transfer …

Due to its high porosity as well as a high specific surface area, the use of open cell metallic
foam in heat transfer applications has received increasing interest. In present study, the …

A new numerical and experimental work investigating the cooling potential of open-cell
aluminum foam (using airflow) for fuel cell stacks is described. A model for metal-foam …

In this study, copper foam was used as a porous medium in place of traditional aluminum
fins. A comparison between the two heat exchangers—one with fins and the other with …

A numerical study is accomplished to evaluate thermal and fluid-dynamic behaviours of a
compact heat exchanger in aluminum foam. LTNE condition are assumed. The purpose of …

The aim of this paper is to propose a local meshless method for the numerical solutions of
heat and mass transfer equations in elliptic fins. The domain and boundary are discretized …

A numerical analysis on a compact heat exchanger in aluminum foam is accomplished. The
governing equations in two-dimensional steady state regime are written in local thermal non …
