Experimental and numerical investigation of forced convection heat transfer of air in non-sintered porous media

Thermal characteristics in asymmetrically heated channels fully filled with brass beads

“…[7e9] and Jiang et al [10,11], indicating the validity of the present measurements. Finally, the measured data yield the following relationship between Nu D and Re D .…”

“…[7e9] and Jiang et al [10,11] with the measured data herein work. Table 2 presents the properties of the packing employed by Demirel et al…”

“…[7e9] and Jiang et al [10,11]. It needs to note that the cases with similar ranges of D h /d and L/D h were selected and plotted in the same figure for comparing fair.…”

“…Besides, the Nusselt number increases with the decline of diameter of bronze beads, but drops with the decline of diameter of glass beads. Jiang et al [11] experimentally and numerically studied the forced convection heat transfer of air in plate channels filled with glass or steel spherical particles. The test channel was also heated at the top wall only.…”

Using Porous Media to Enhancement of Heat Transfer in Heat Exchangers

“…In sum, they introduced this method, an effective solution to increase heat transfer. Jiang et al [59] investigated the empirical and numerical research of forced heat transfer in a canal filled with porous media. The schematic geometry used is shown in figure. 8.…”
