Both methods rely on effective heat exchange to transfer heat away from the chips ... “This ultra-high surface area metal foam goes directly on the chip and allows the liquid to flow through ...

The aluminum metal foam heat exchanger provides more cooling effectiveness than other metal foams and traditional fin heat exchangers. Likewise, metal foam is also used in several aerospace ...

Apheros has developed a novel metal foam ... such as heat sinks or roughened copper boiler plates — to increase the surface area of the chips and facilitate heat transfer or dissipation when ...

mainly because heat travels more slowly through air than through metal,” explained Afsaneh Rabiei, one of the researchers, in a press release. The team also found that the foam expands 80 ...

Another noteworthy advantage is that the composite metal foam expands at a fairly constant rate when exposed to high heat - whereas conventional bulk metals and alloys such as stainless steel ...

The rate of heat transfer between the metal foam and PCM is an additional crucial aspect affecting the performance of the MF-PCM composite heat sink. This may be improved by increasing the ratio of ...

Engineering researchers have demonstrated that composite metal foams (CMFs ... used panels made of steel-steel CMF. CMF is a foam that consists of hollow, metallic spheres -- made of materials ...
