Abstract

In this paper, the fraction factors and interstitial heat transfer coefficients in the packed porous media of spherical or ellipsoidal particles are experimentally investigated with an inverse method of transient single-blow technique. The effects of packing form and particle shape are carefully investigated. It was found that, with proper selection of particle shape and packing model, the overall heat transfer performance of porous media will be improved significantly. Furthermore, the traditional correlations for flow and heat transfer from randomly packed porous meia would not be suitable for structured packed porous media.
