Metal Foam and Finned Metal Foam Heat Sinks for Electronics Cooling in Buoyancy-Induced Convection
In this paper, we present our recent experimental results on buoyancy-induced convection in aluminum metal foams of different pore densities [corresponding to 5, 10, 20, and 40 pores per in. (PPI)] and porosities (0.89–0.96). The results show that compared to a heated surface, the heat transfer coefficients in these heat sinks are five to six times higher. However, when compared to commercially...
متن کاملScaling behavior of optimally structured catalytic microfluidic reactors.
In this study of catalytic microfluidic reactors we show that, when optimally structured, these reactors share underlying scaling properties. The scaling is predicted theoretically and verified numerically. Furthermore, we show how to increase the reaction rate significantly by distributing the active porous material within the reactor using a high-level implementation of topology optimization.
متن کاملEffect of Geometrical Modeling on the Prediction of Laser-Induced Heat Transfer in Metal Foam
Over the past several decades, aluminum foam (Al-foam) has found increasing popularity in industrial applications due to its unique material properties. Unfortunately, till date Al-foam can only be affordably manufactured in flat panels, and it becomes necessary to bend the foam to the final shape that is required in engineering applications. Past studies have shown that thin cell walls crack a...
متن کاملAnalytical Considerations of the Flow Boiling Heat Transfer in Metal-foam Tubes
A newly simplified microstructure model of metal foams was carried out for flow boiling heat transfer in metal-foam filled tube. Fin analysis, heat transfer network and superposition correlation were adopted to obtain the equivalent heat transfer coefficient for flow boiling. Based on annular pattern, fluid can be divided into vapor region in the center of the tube and liquid region near the wa...
