Non-Newtonian fluid heat transfer in porous media

摘要: Publisher Summary The chapter focuses on non-Newtonian-fluid heat transfer in porous media and reviews the existing literature, number of citations which has rapidly grown reaching a sizable topic. body information covers most relevant Darcy non-Darcy situations boundary layer confined flows. Heat is great pragmatic importance wide variety scientific engineering applications, as can be seen from some applications summarized chapter. presents pure natural-convection boundary-layer problem for flow past an isothermal vertical flat plate, nonisothermal smooth surface arbitrary shape, nonuniform horizontal plate embedded medium saturated with Ostwald-de Waele power-law fluid. Herschel-Bulkley fluid—namely, pseudoplastic fluid yield stress discussed. elastic Boger constant viscosity mixed-convection shape presented. more additional topics steady-state convection. Nonsteady state convections based regime are
