Abstract

Chapter 6 turns to external flows through porous media and derives expressions for natural, forced and mixed convection heat transfer past a vertical plate embedded in a porous medium. The final form of the equation for mixed convection is like those of the correlating equations for combined laminar forced and free convection heat transfer for Newtonian fluids and for non- Newtonian fluids in homogeneous media. Such equations which interpolate the two extremes of forced and free convection have been shown to give reasonably accurate results for homogeneous media. In the case of convective flow through porous media, too, such correlating equations are very effective.
