The microstructure of porous materials has a significant effect on their transport properties. Engineered cellular ceramics can be designed to exhibit properties at will, thanks to the advances in additive manufacturing. We investigated the heat and mass transport characteristics of SiSiC lattices produced by three-dimensional (3D) printing and replication, with three different morphologies: rotated cube (RC), Weaire-Phelan (WPh), and tetrakaidecahedron (TK) lattices, and a commercially available ceramic foam. The pressure gradients were measured experimentally for various velocities. The convective heat transfer coefficients were determined through a steady-state experimental technique in combination with numerical analysis. The numerical model was a volume-averaged model based on a local thermal nonequilibrium (LTNE) assumption of the two homogeneous phases. The results showed that for TK and WPh structures, undesirable manufacturing anomalies (specifically window clogging) led to unexpectedly higher pressure drops across the samples and increased thermal dispersion. Compared to the TK and WPh structures the manufactured RC lattice and the random foam had lower heat transfer rates but also lower pressure drops. These lower values for the RC lattice and foam are also a result of their lower specific surface areas.
