Abstract:In this paper, a new analytic model called transfer matrix method is used to investigate the heat transfer performance of high porosity metal foam under the forced convection conditions. Assuming a simple cubic cell structures for the foam matrix, the new method gives an in-depth analysis of heat transfer in the microscopic to overcome the approximations in an analytic model based on fin analogy. Results obtained by the transfer matrix method are closer to the experiment results than the present methods, which indicate the method is more accurate. ? Sila Science. All rights reserved.
