Natural convection on a novel periodic lattice frame material wire-woven bulk Kagome-sintered plate(WBK)at different inclination angles is experimentally investigated
and overall heat transfer performance is evaluated by the total thermal resistance concerning the effects of orientations(o-a
o-b
and o-c)and inclination angles covering 0°(horizontal orientation)
15°
30°
45°
60°
75°
and 90°(vertical orientation). The optimal inclination angle is found to approach 50°
corresponding to the minimum thermal resistance at a heat flux of 1 150 W/m

. The average thermal resistance for WBK specimens gets 42% that of the smooth plate in the Rayleigh number range of 6.1×10

-2.2×10

. The heat transfer performance(thermal resistance)of
WBK sample is different in three orientations due to its strong anisotropic topology: o-b orientation has smallest thermal resistance
but o-a orientation has the biggest one. Moderate blockage ratio results in relatively high flow mixing but acceptable flow resistance
ultimately leading to enhancing natural convective heat transfer.
