Application of Porous Media in Heat-Transfer and Mass-Transfer Enhancements: A Brief Review
Guojun Yu,
Huijin Xu
Abstract:The heat and/or mass transfer is crucial in various energy conversion and storage systems such as heat exchangers and energy storage systems, since they highly affect the efficiency of energy conversion and transport. Enhancing the heat and/or mass transfer within these systems is the most important means to improve system efficiency. Porous media have found wide application in enhancing the heat conduction, mass diffusion, or both, for different energy conversion and storage systems. In this chapter, a brief … Show more
