An analysis of self-cooling with infiltrated porous composites including the effect of the melt layer

A detailed analytical model was developed to include the effect of the melting process on a porous composite which retards its own heating rate by sacrificing its infiltrant. A transient one-dimensional heat-transfer analysis was conducted considering both the heats absorbed by melting and vaporizat...
