β¦ Synopsis
A mathematical model is presented to describe heat transfer in a metallic monolith comprising channels of sinusoidal cross-section. Model equations were solved numerically and when the results were compared with literature experimental data for the FecralloyR monolith, fairly good agreement was found.
Radial temperature profiles were calculated using the model for constant wall temperature and a flat temperature profile at the inlet of the monolith. Effective thermal conductivities and wall heat transfer coefficients for the monolith were evaluated based on these profiles. The coefficients were compared with those for packed beds of electrocorundum pellets. Effective thermal conductivities for the monolith were found to be lower than those for packed beds, while wall heat transfer coefficients are much higher than those for packed beds. Overall heat transfer coefficients are greater for a monolith.

Heat transfer in metal honeycomb monoliths, under non-adiabatic conditions, is considered in this work. Using a simple geometric simulation of the monolithic structure, steady-state heat balances are written separately for the solid and gas phases of the simulated monolith In the absence of chemical

## Abstract The flow boiling heat transfer performance in horizontal metalβfoam tubes is numerically investigated based on the flow pattern map retrieved from experimental investigations. The flow pattern and velocity profile are generally governed by vapour quality and mass flow rate of the fluid.
