... In the present work, a comparison between numerical and experimental gas side heat transfer and pressure drop for a tube bundle with solid and segmented circular finned tubes in a staggered arrangement is investigated. For the numerical simulations a three dimensional model of the finned tube...

... Graphite foam convection pressure drop microstructure Mesophase pitch-derived open-cell graphite foams with excellent heat transfer properties have been developed by using a relatively simple manufacturing technique [1]. The specific thermal conductivity of the graphite foam is more...
