Heat Transfer for Laminar Flow Through Parallel Porous Disks

Abstract

The problem of temperature distribution and heat transfer for laminar flow through two parallel porous disks, has been investigated when the flow is entirely due t injection or suction at the two disks. Viscous dissipation terms have been included in the energy equation and the uniform injection/suction velocities at the two disks, are assumed to be small. The boundaries are maintained at constant temperature. The variation of temperature and Nusselt numbers at the two disks, is shown graphically, for various of the injection/suction velocities.
