Abstract
As is well known, a highly porous medium has a structure of slim mesh frames and has a porosity of about 90%. So far, this kind of porous medium has been often used to control reacting flows, heat transfer rate and so on. The purpose of this study is to clarify the heat transfer characteristics of the system with a highly porous medium. From a series of experiments, the following findings have been obtained: The highly porous medium is promising as a good heat transfer material. The mode of the heat transfer using a highly porous medium is mainly heat conduction under the present conditions.
