Influence of Thermal Contact Resistance of Aluminum Foams in Forced Convection: Experimental Analysis

In this paper, the heat transfer performances of aluminum metal foams, placed on horizontal plane surface, was evaluated in forced convection conditions. Three different types of contacts between the sample and the heated base plate have been investigated: simple contact, brazed contact and grease p...
