The topic is of paramount importance. Heating, cooling, or solar air ducts are used in several
sectors and in very diverse fields. The improvement in their performance has been and is …

High porosity metal foams offer large surface area per unit volume and have been
considered as effective candidates for convection heat transfer enhancement, with …

In the present work the efficiency of a solar parabolic trough has been investigated
experimentally. An absorber filled with metal foam is used in order to improve the heat …

Turbulence in Porous Media introduces the reader to the characterisation of turbulent flow,

Cellular metal lattice truss structures are being investigated for use as multifunctional load
supporting structures where their other functionalities include thermal management …

In this paper, 3-D numerical analysis of the porous disc line receiver for solar parabolic
trough collector is presented. The influence of thermic fluid properties, receiver design and …

Experimental and numerical investigations on the effect of porous metal foam on the
performance of a flat-plate solar collector have been carried out in this study. The numerical …

Despite the various techniques used in strengthening the Solar Air Heater (SAH) through
extended surfaces (obstacles) on the absorber plate, its thermal performance remains far …

Experimental and numerical studies have been carried out to study the effect of using baffles
on the flow and heat transfer characteristics in a rectangular channel with an aspect ratio of …

The ARC pilot plant conceptual design study has been extended beyond its initial scope [BN
