Heat exchangers embedded with metal foam are drawing increasing attention in the thermal application field,due to the performance of low density,large ratio of surface area to volume as well as high thermal conductivity. In these applications,compact heat exchanger,solar thermal facilities and thermal energy storage are the three core components. This paper focuses on the lasted advances in thermal applications,presenting a review of theoretical and experimental progress over metal foam in thermal application. The empirical and theoretical models for pressure drop,heat transfer coefficient and performance evaluation criteria of compact heat exchangers with metal foam are reviewed and discussed,especially different optimized *** is a trade-off between heat transfer enhancement and increase of pressure drop. Some exploratory work performed by present authors are also introduced. The manufacturing,heat transfer and flow characteristics of tube bundle wrapped with metal foam are taken into account for optimization of heat exchanger. It is confirmed that the conversion mechanism of heat transfer is carried out that heat conduction is the dominative term at high dimension permeability. The correlations of heat transfer rate and pressure drop for staggered and single row tube bundle wrapped with metal foam are concluded,respectively. The effects of different bonding methods are revealed for point-contact in metal foam and base tube. The powder-sintering method can provide a stable and minimum-thickness bonding layer. Various types of solar thermal facilities utilized metal foam to improve the energy conversion efficiency from solar radiant energy to thermal energy are also reviewed and discussed,including solar collector for intermediate-low temperature utilization and solar receiver for high temperature utilization. The Last but not least,existing and future metal foam thermal application stations are overviewed.

Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is a nonirritating and nontoxic chemical, further more;it can be used as a fuel additive. In this work, the thermophysical properties formulations for dimethyl carbonate has been developed based upon a selection of available experimental thermophysical property data. In determining the coefficients of the equation of state, multi-property fitting methods were used;including single-phase pressure-volume-temperature (pVT), heat capacity, vapor pressure, and saturated liquid density data. The equation of state has been developed to conform to the Maxwell criterion for two-phase liquid-vapor equilibrium states and is valid for temperatures from 280 K to 400 K and pressure to 60 MPa, and the extrapolation behavior of the equation of state at high temperatures and high pressures is reasonable. The deviation of the density (100x(ρcal-ρexp)/ρexp) is generally less than 0.1% and does not exceed 0.2% except for very few data points in liquid region. The uncertainty of the vapor pressure of the equation of state is generally less than 2.0%. The deviation of viscosity equation developed is generally less than 2.0%, and the absolute average deviation (AAD) between experimental and calculated values is 1.03%. In additional, the extended corresponding states (ECS) model with R134a as the reference fluid was used to represent viscosities and thermal conductivities, and the absolute average deviations are 1.34% and 1.47%, respectively. Detail comparisons between experimental and calculated data have been performed in the work.

Reactive distillation processes for synthesis of ethylene glycol (EG) and ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) were modeled with the simulation package ASPEN PLUS. The input multiplicity and output multiplicity were discussed with the method of sensitivity analysis for both cases. In EG production process, steady state multiplicities were studied in terms of effective liquid holdup volume and boil-up ratio. In ETBE synthesis process, the user kinetic subroutine was supplied into ASPEN PLUS firstly, and then the composition, temperature and reaction-rate profiles within the reactive distillation column were presented in detail. A set of stable solution branches based on distinct initial guesses for a range of boil-up ratio were found in EG synthesis. Input multiplicities were observed for a range of reboiler duty at several values of reflux ratio for ETBE synthesis process. These results can be used to avoid excessive energy consumption and achieve optimum design of reactive distillation column.
