The present paper studies the thermal entrance region in a concentric annular duct filled by a fluid saturated porous metallic foam, with reference to steady forced convection and to a thermal boundary condition given by a wall temperature longitudinally varying with a sinusoidal law. The effect of viscous dissipation in the fluid is taken into account, and a two-temperature model is employed in order to evaluate separately the local fluid and solid matrix temperatures. The governing equations in the thermal entrance region are solved numerically by the method of lines. The Nusselt numer and its mean value in an axial period is evaluated, with reference both to the inner and the outer boundary.

The thermal entrance region in a plane-parallel channel filled by a fluid saturated porous medium is investigated with reference to steady forced convection and to a thermal boundary condition given by a wall temperature longitudinally varying with a sinusoidal law. The effect of viscous dissipation in the fluid is taken into account, and a two-temperature model is employed in order to evaluate separately the local fluid and solid matrix temperatures. The asymptotic temperature distributions are determined analytically. The governing equations in the thermal entrance region are solved numerically by a finite element method and by the method of lines.

The local heat-transfer characteristics for air and carbon dioxide in the thermal entrance region have been determined experimentally and are compared with predicted values computed from an extension of the theoretical analysis due to Deissler. The experiments were conducted in smooth round tubes having a fully developed turbulent velocity profile and a uniform temperature distribution at the entrance. The boundary conditions of uniform heat flux for heating the gas, and wall temperature constant and variable with axial distance for cooling the gas, were investigated with large temperature differences between the gas and the tube wall. For heating, the experimental results yielded one per cent thermal entrance lengths ranging from 11 to 27 diameters over the bulk Reynolds number range from 50,000 to 246,000. For cooling, one per cent thermal entrance lengths ranging from 12 to 26 diameters were obtained for bulk Reynolds numbers ranging from 17,000 to 218,000. The agreement between theory and experiment was favorable in most cases.
