Modeling and prediction of the effective thermal conductivity of random open-cell porous foams (2008, methodology): “The component thermal conductivities used in the simulations are kRVC = 8.5 W/m K, kwater = 0.615 W/m K and kair = 0.026 W/m K [ 14 ,37].”
Multifunctional periodic cellular metals (2006, background): “…for thermal transport, possess a very high surface area for heat transfer to a cooling fluid and provide a contiguous (though tortuous) path for coolant flow through the structure (Boomsa & Poulikakos 2001; Bhattacharya et al. 2002; Phanikumar & Mahajan 2002; Singh & Kasana 2004; Zhao et al. 2004).”
A synthesis of fluid and thermal transport models for metal foam heat exchangers (2008, unknown): “Modeling or measurement techniques have been developed for effective thermal conductivities of solid–fluid structures [40,45–54].”
Thermo-hydraulic study of a single row heat exchanger consisting of metal foam covered round tubes (2010, methodology): “Noteworthy are the models of Calmidi and Mahajan [10], Boomsma and Poulikakos [11] and Singh and Kasana [12].”
A Review of Metal Foam and Metal Matrix Composites for Heat Exchangers and Heat Sinks (2012, result): “Singh and Kasana [39] presented a simple semi-empirical model for the keff of metal foams, which showed good agreement with experimental data.”
