The abundant availability and accessibility of plant fibres are the major reasons for an
emerging new interest in sustainable technology. While focusing on the composite …

Recent advances in manufacturing methods open the possibility for broader use of metal
foams and metal matrix composites (MMCs) for heat exchangers, and these materials can …

One of the proposed methods to improve the performance of a proton exchange membrane
fuel cell is using metal foam within the channels. Here, we performed a 3D numerical …

The main techniques for the enhancement of heat transfer between a solid wall and a fluid
are reviewed for both single phase (liquid and gas) and two-phase (boiling and …

Metal foam heat exchangers have considerable advantages in thermal management and
heat recovery over several commercially available heat exchangers. In this work, the effects …

Metal foams are a class of cellular structured materials with open cells randomly oriented
and mostly homogeneous in size and shape. In the last decade, several authors have …

The flow battery is a promising technology for large-scale storage of intermittent power
generated from solar and wind farms owing to its unique advantages such as location …

In this study, the transverse permeability of fibrous porous media is studied both
experimentally and theoretically. A scale analysis technique is employed for determining the …

Double diffusive natural convection of the nano-encapsulated phase change material in a
circular cavity with partial porous foam and fins has been searched in this paper …

The forced convection heat transfer characteristics in high porosity open-cell metal-foam
filled tube heat exchangers are analysed in this paper. The Brinkman-extended Darcy …
