Abstract: Closed form solutions are presented for fully developed pressure driven slip-flow in straight microchannels of uniform noncircular cross-sections. To achieve this goal, starting from the general ...

Abstract: Temperature-dependent viscosity effect in buoyancy driven flow of a gas or a liquid in an enclosure filled with a porous medium is studied numerically based on the general model of momentum ...

Abstract: Using a thermal resistance approach, forced convection heat transfer through metal foam heat exchangers is studied theoretically. The complex microstructure of metal foams is modeled as a matrix ...

Abstract: Assuming uniform particulate deposit layer, with deposition layer thickness in the range of 10–400 μm, on the ligaments of a metal foam heat sink, the effects of airborne particle deposition ...
