The effective thermal conductivities of open and closed-cell aluminium foams are measured by numerical, analytical and experimental methods. These methods are represented by the Hit Disk method, computed tomography (CT) and thermal Lattice Monte Carlo (LMC) analysis. Furthermore, the report includes experimental measurements of open-cell-M-pore ...
Using the TPS method, the thermal conductivities of a variety of metallic hollow sphere structures (MHSS) were measured. The thermal conductivities were also calculated using Misnar's analytical model and compared to the experimental results, with good agreement between the two sets of data....
