Rovisco Pais, 1049-001 Lisbon, Portugal ABSTRACTAn experimental and numerical investigation was performed in order to evaluate the performance of several heat transfer sub-models for conduction, convection and radiation in the prediction of flow and heat transfer through 10 ppi Al2O3 foams with Peclet number based on the pore size o(102). These sub-models comprise either effective conductivity models or two phase (gas and solid) models, corresponding to thermodynamic equilibrium or non-equilibrium assumptions, respectively. Experiments were conducted in a counterflow coaxial heat exchanger, where the hot outer air, flowing at a maximum temperature of 800°C, heats the counter cold inner pipe water flow. Temperature measurements were obtained at several locations inside the porous media, pipe walls and inlet/outlet ports. Two-dimensional finite volume calculations of the coupled phenomena in the full geometrical configuration of the heat exchanger were performed.
