Metal foam regenerators : heat transfer and pressure drop in porous metals

Open pore metal foams with moderate porosity (0.6 – 0.7) may be of interest as regenerators due to their high volumetric heat capacity and large specific surface area. Replication process is a low cost and simple foam manufacturing method which provides moderate porosity metal foams. Due to its simp...
