A study of the temperature gradients of gases flowing through heated porous metal

Nitrogen and Hydrogen were passed through a pack of heated porous metal discs to obtain temperature distribution as a function of (1) bass flows and (2) temperatures at which metal was heated. An effort was made to obtain heat trasnfer per unit volume of porous metal as a function of (1) mass flows...

Description
Summary:Nitrogen and Hydrogen were passed through a pack of heated porous metal discs to obtain temperature distribution as a function of (1) bass flows and (2) temperatures at which metal was heated. An effort was made to obtain heat trasnfer per unit volume of porous metal as a function of (1) mass flows and (2) temperatures at which the metal was heated. By varying inlet gas pressures at various metal temperatures the effect of temperature on pressure drop was determined.
