Metal honeycombs are used as catalyst supports. They can be considered as complex fins for heat exchange. A simple heat transfer model was compared with 2D simulations using COMSOL Multiphysics. There was a good correlation when the fluid temperature was the same in all cells. However, ... Read More

Interpretation of Measurements with Novel Thermal Conductivity Sensors Suitable for Space Applications
