Abstract The present work deals with the hydraulic characterization of two-phase flow with phase change in a channel filled with metallic foam. We provide a general presentation of metallic foams including morphological characteristics, fabrication processes and industrial applications. The experimental facility, which consists of a hydrodynamic loop, the test section, measurement devices, and the data acquisition system, is presented. The Metallic foam sample tested in the present work is manufactured by SCPS (French manufacturer). N-pentane is used as a coolant fluid. The mass velocity values lie between 4 and 49 kg/ m2s, while the heating power More >
