Abstract: Natural convection heat transfer is measured in a horizontal enclosure filled with a gas-saturated porous medium composed of glass spheres. The height-to-pore scale ratio (H/d) is in the range of 25–150, yielding a low ...

Abstract: This study presents experimental data on the effects of the solid-to-fluid thermal conductivity ratio on natural convective heat transfer in a fluid-saturated porous medium heated from below. Argon is used as the saturating ...

Abstract: Identifying relevant stimuli that help generate solutions of desired novelty and quality is challenging in analogical design. To quell this challenge, the multifaceted effects of using stimuli which are located at various ...
