Transient performance of a PCM-based heat sink with a partially filled metal foam: Effects of the filling height ratio

In this Short Communication, the transient performance of a phase change material (PCM)-based heat sink filled with a copper foam was experimentally studied. Attention was paid to revealing the influence of filling height ratio of the copper foam on the performance. The effects of pore size of the copper foam and the heating power were also studied parametrically. The results showed that the PCM-based heat sink could inhibit the temperature...
