The present experimental work is done to investigate forced convective heat transfer rate through porous material. For this study stainless steel ball of diameter 8, 12 and 16 mm are used to form test section with different porosity. The different parameters are calculated like Reynolds number, Prandtl number, porosity, convective heat transfer coefficient and plotted the effects of porosity and mass flow rate on heat transfer rate. It shows that for minimum porosity heat transfer rate increases and it depends upon mass flow rate also.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
