Description

"Presents the most important and up-to-date research related to heat transfer in porous media, focusing on practical applications of the latest studies to engineering products and procedures. Includes theoretical models of fluid flow, capillary effects, application of fractal and percolation characterizing porous materials, multiphase flow and heat transfer, turbulent flow and heat transfer, improved measurement and flow visualization techniques, and enhanced design correlations."

Table of Contents

• conduction in porous media
• forced convection on porous media
• natural and double-diffusive convection in porous media
• mixed convection in porous media
• radiative transfer in porous media
• turbulence in porous media
• drying, environmental and manufacturing applications in porous media.
