Experimental Investigation on the Pressure Drop of Air Flows Through Aluminum and Nickel-Chromium Metallic Foams for HVAC Applications

In this paper, a series of experimental data about the role of the metal foam thickness on the total air flow pressure drop is presented. The tested metallic foams are based on aluminum and nickel-chromium and they are characterized by a considerable value of porosity (>0.92) and by a number...
