Tomography-based investigation of flow and heat transfer inside reticulated porous ceramics

•The border affected region is only 1–2 times of the mean cell size.•Local thermal equilibrium, which lasts for 7–10 s, has been found in this study.•The local convective heat transfer coefficient is constant along the flow direction.•The instantaneous volumetric heat transfer coefficient monotonous...
