Numerical Study on Thermo-Hydraulic Performances of Hybrid Nanofluids Flowing through a Corrugated Channel with Metal Foam [PDF]
In this study, a novel design was proposed for enhancing heat transfer in a channel with metal foam, corrugated walls, and hybrid nanofluids. The numerical analysis of hybrid nanofluids (MWCNTs+TiO2) with DW (distillate water) as the base fluid was ...

AbstractUltralight (<10 mg/cm3) cellular materials are desirable for thermal insulation; battery electrodes; catalyst supports; and acoustic, vibration, or shock energy damping. However, most of these ultralight materials, especially ultralight metal foams, are fabricated using either expensive materials or complicated procedures, which greatly ...

Composite and Nanocomposite Metal Foams [PDF]
Open-cell and closed-cell metal foams have been reinforced with different kinds of micro- and nano-sized reinforcements to enhance their mechanical properties of the metallic matrix. The idea behind this is that the reinforcement will strengthen the matrix of the cell edges and cell walls and provide high strength and stiffness.
