To investigate thermal transportation through open cell foams there are various microscopic and macroscopic numerical models along with their limitations available in the literature. The purpose of this study is to investigate the limitations of macroscopic models and to propose some reliable ideas as conclusion that can be used to overcome the existing limitations. Therefore, a combined experimental and numerical study is presented. The experimental study comprises of steady state forced convection experiments which involve three different regimes of heat transfer. Further, in macroscopic models these three regimes of heat transfer namely conduction, thermal dispersion and interstitial convection are governed by stagnant effective thermal conductivity, k(e), dispersion conductivity, k(d) and volumetric heat transfer coefficient, h(v) respectively. Moreover, the complex structure of the open cell foams is simplified into a rather realistic Kelvin cell model for the determination of ke. The influence of the geometrical parameters such as pore diameter, d and foam porosity, epsilon is investigated by examining 10, 20 and 30 PPI (pores per inch) alumina foams for a porosity range of 0.79-0.87. The findings of this study reveal that it is important to consider both local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) and thermal dispersion together for improved analysis. Further, it is revealed that although with the above consideration, it is possible to exhibit the effect of geometrical parameters on each regime of heat transfer but the accuracy of the results predicted through macroscopic models remain under question as there is no basis to validate the results.
