A Note on the Temperature Distribution in a Porous Annulus

Abstract

Unsteady temperature distribution for flow of an incompressible viscous fluid in a porous annulus has been investigated under the assumption that the rate of injection of the fluid at the inner cylinder is equal to the rate of suction of the fluid at the outer one. Viscous dissipation has been neglected while rate of heat generation in the fluid has been accounted for. An expression for the temperature distribution has been obtained using Laplace transform technique and taking the temperatures of the boundaries to be functions of time.
