Abstract
This study presents an analysis of forced convection in a porous triangular channel. The flow is assumed to have constant properties and the porous channel is an isotropic matrix. The flow is laminar and fully developed and the boundary conditions are fixed with a constant heat flux. In this paper, the accurate analytical solutions are presented to obtain the effects of porosity and permeability on the velocity and temperature distribution in a triangular channel along with the friction factor fRe, and Nusselt number NuH. The momentum and energy equations include the term of Darcy, effective viscosity and apex angel. So, the flow velocity and temperature distribution have been investigated in porous media with different properties. The Galerkin method has been applied to solve the equations accurately by considering a weight function for no slippery and isothermal wall boundary conditions. Temperature and velocity distribution and heat transfer coefficient have been obtained and compared with the same flow situation in rectangular channels.
