Abstract: Two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics simulations of mixed convection heat transfer through aluminum metal foams partially filled in a vertical channel are carried out numerically. The objective of the present study ...

Abstract: This paper discusses about the numerical prediction of forced convection heat transfer through high-porosity metal foams with discrete heat sources in a vertical channel. The physical geometry consists of a discrete heat ...

Abstract: The intention of this paper is to present the numerical analysis of thermal performance and exergy transfer through high porosity metal foams filled partially in a horizontal pipe. The heater is embedded in the pipe's ...

Abstract: The aim of this work is to unveil the exergy transfer and overall thermal performance of the metal foams partially filled in varying thicknesses in the vertical channel. The numerical examination performed in this study ...
