Abstract
Radiation converter made of a wire mesh is proposal for heat transfer enhancement of HiCOT (high temperature air combustion technology) furnace. Heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics through a wire mesh at low Reynolds number are investigated by numerical simulation. Detailed model at various condition are necessary for performance prediction and modeling for design. It is confirmed that flow resistance results agree well with existing experimental data. Empirical formula of fluid resistance and heat transfer coefficient through a wire mesh was obtained.
