    Prediction of heat transfer with discrete heat sources in a vertical channel filled  ith high porosity metal foam
    (Dalian University of Technology, 2018) Kotresha, B.; Gnanasekaran, N.
    This paper discusses about the numerical prediction of isothermal condition with discrete heat sources in a vertical channel filled with high porosity metal foams. The problem considered consists of a vertical channel in which discrete heat source assembly is placed at the centre and high porosity metal foams are placed on either side of the aluminium plates to enhance the heat transfer. The flow through the metal foam porous medium is predicted by using Darcy Extended Forchheimer model and Local thermal non-equilibrium model as well as local thermal equilibrium model is used for heat transfer prediction. The results are presented in terms of temperature excess over the ambient for both empty and metal foam filled channel. Finally, the heat input through the discrete heat sources is varied to obtain an isothermal condition on all the heat sources at a constant inlet velocity. © 2018 by the authors of the abstracts.

    Forced Convection Analysis in a Horizontal Pipe in the Presence of Aluminium Metal Foam—A Numerical Study
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Jadhav, P.H.; Kotresha, B.; Gnanasekaran, N.; Arumuga Perumal, D.
    Numerical exploration of forced convective heat transfer through the aluminium metallic foam filled in a horizontal pipe is done expending a commercially existing software ANSYS FLUENT 15.0. The motive of the ongoing numerical examination is to investigate the effect of fully filled metal foam in a horizontal pipe for different flow regimes. 10 PPI metal foam having 0.85 porosity is filled 60% along the length of pipe in the flow direction. The Darcy-extended Forchheimer (DEF) flow and local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) models are considered at the metal foam region to envisage fluid flow and augment in heat transfer. The numerical methodology is validated by comparing the results with available experimental data. The results of pressure loss, variation of wall temperature and Nusselt number are reported and discussed. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
