Heat transfer enhancement for thermal energy storage using metal foams embedded within phase change materials (PCMs) (2010, background): “However almost all the previous investigations worked on the thermal conduction (Calmidi and Mahajan 1999, Boomsma and Poulikakos 2001, Zhao et al. 2004), forced convection (Lee et al. 1993, Calmidi and Mahajan 2000, Kim et al. 2000, Kim et al. 2001, Hwang et al. 2002, Bhattacharya et al. 2002,…”
A numerical investigation of heat transfer in phase change materials (PCMs) embedded in porous metals (2011, background): “Metal foams [20, 21], which have high strength-to-density ratio, ultralight porous structure and relatively high thermal conductivity, are believed to be a promising material for enhancing heat transfer performance and reducing the charging and discharging periods of PCMs.”
Heat Transfer Through Plasma-Sprayed Thermal Barrier Coatings in Gas Turbines: A Review of Recent Work (2009, background): “Another effect of scale relates to the possibility of convection within or between pores [36-38].”
A synthesis of fluid and thermal transport models for metal foam heat exchangers (2008, background): “The rate of heat transfer is enhanced by conducting the heat to the material struts, which have a large accessible surface area per unit volume, along with high interaction with the fluid flowing through them [2–7].”
Active cooling by metallic sandwich structures with periodic cores (2005, background): “effective porous medium approach widely used for stochastic foams [20,22] or sintered beds [18,25].”
