Abstract

The study reports the contribution of axial conduction in heat transfer to flow passing through triangular porous passages. The problem under consideration uses the H2 boundary condition; that is, locally constant wall heat flux. Because of the geometrical asymmetry, nonorthogonal boundary conditions can exist and this makes the determination of heat transfer more demanding. The porous medium is fully saturated and the placement of porous materials can enhance the transfer of heat to a flowing fluid. A fully developed flow is considered for the velocity field in the presence of a thermally developing temperature field. The weighted residual method is used throughout the calculations.
