Can I simulate steam with air through porous media????
Can I simulate steam with air through porous media????
(OP)
I'd like to bench test the pressure drop through a metal porous sheet. The sheet is very porous, about 90%.
The real working fluid is steam, but for ease of testing air would be much easier.
Can I match the Reynold's number of steam to air and then take the pressure drop of air through the media as the pressure drop steam would be, even though this is for porous media?
Thanks!
