Thermal and hydrodynamic behavior of forced convection gaseous slip flow in a Kelvin cell metal foam

Safa Sabet et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the effects of rarefaction on permeability and heat transfer coefficients in convective gas flows by conducting pore-level analysis of a Kelvin cell model. The results showed that rarefaction significantly enhanced permeability, but this enhancement decreased with increasing porosity. Rarefaction also weakened inertial effects and drag forces, with a more pronounced effect at high Reynolds numbers. For highly conductive metal foam structures, the influences of boundary slip and temperature jump canceled each other out, resulting in Nusselt numbers primarily being dependent on Reynolds number.

Heat transfer enhancement of phase change materials embedded with metal foam for thermal energy storage: A review

Wei Cui et al.

Summary: Phase change materials (PCMs) have the potential to improve the utilization efficiency of the latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) system, but their relatively low thermal conductivity results in an undesirable thermal response rate. The use of metal foam (MF) as an effective strategy to enhance the heat transfer performance of PCMs has gained attention. However, there is still a lack of discussion on the limitations and situations of known technologies. In this review, a total of 476 literature since 2000 are analyzed using scientometric analysis to highlight the key areas and new trends. The factors influencing the heat transfer performance of PCMs embedded with MF (PCMs/MF) are presented in-depth, and the developments of hybrid heat transfer enhancement techniques based on MF are comprehensively overviewed. Furthermore, the systematic information on PCMs/MF in typical applications is summarized, and the suitability of these technologies is discussed. Challenges and opportunities for further research work on PCMs/MF are also identified and discussed.
