Abstract
In this work, an experimental setup is established to investigate the heat transfer and fow resistance of wire gauzes. Five woven metal sheets of plain-square type differing in wires diameter and mesh size is tested. Based on the measured heat transfer coeffcients and pressure drops of wire gauzes, the empirical equations of friction and transfer characteristics of plain-square-type woven sheets are developed. All experimental data lie within 7.16 % and 18.3 % of the empirical equations describing heat transfer and fow resistance, respectively. In order to obtain better agreement between the ftted empirical equation and measured data for fow resistance, three empirical equations respectively for wire gauzes are developed. Experimental measurements are used to supply appropriate boundary conditions for the simulations of the fuid fow and heat transfer within wire gauzes by using computational fuid dynamics (CFD). A good agreement between numerical results and experimental data is found, thus confrming that a simple CFD model can be a powerful and cheap tool, able to effciently evaluate the pressure drop and heat transfer of woven metal wire gauzes. Finally, the woven metal wire gauzes are compared with packed bed and monolith in terms of fow resistance and heat transfer.
