Abstract
This Chapter discusses phase change convective heat transfer of high porosity cellular metal foams and their practical applications in thermal energy storage (TES). The following theoretical aspects are covered: volume-averaging method, Brinkman-Forchheimer porous flow model, two-equation non-thermal equilibrium heat transfer model, enthalpy method, and phase field method. Based on these models, metal foams have been investigated in two applications: metal foam-embedded phase change materials (PCMs), and metal foam-enhanced cascaded TES. The results indicate that metal foams can improve heat and exergy transfer rates in these applications by factors between 2 and 10.
