Handbook of Porous Media Hardcover - 2000 - 2nd Edition

by Kambiz Vafai


Summary

The Handbook of Porous Media presents the most important and up-to-date research related to heat and mass transfer in porous media, focusing on fundamental aspects and practical applications of the latest studies to engineering products and procedures-including theoretical models of fluid flow, capillary effects, application of fractal and percolation concepts, chacterization of porous materials, multiphase flow and heat transfer, turbulent flow and heat transfer, improved measurement techniques, and enhanced design correlations.Offering an introductory overview on fundamental topics of transport in, and basic aspects of, porous media, the Handbook examines recently applied models for momentum and energy transportreveals new solutions that facilitate the possibilities of heat transfer enhancement in composite channelsdiscusses modern developments in convective boundary layers in porous media for external flows, including numerical and analytical techniquesdescribes the use of porous media in forced convection heat transferdemonstrates microscopic numerical solutions at pore scale that determine macroscopic flow and heat transfer characteristicscovers buoyancy-driven flows in saturated porous media filled (or partially filled) enclosuresexplores the Darcy-Benard problemsdetails the Darcy flow regime in external and internal flowssupplies guidance on determining the importance of dependent scatteringand much more!Containing over 3000 key literature citations, equations, drawings, photographs, and tables, the Handbook of Porous Media is a rigorous and thorough working reference for mechanical, civil, chemical, aerospace, and material engineers, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.

From the publisher

"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."

First line

In this study of transport in porous media, we consider the system illustrated in Figure 1 where the -phase represents a rigid, impermeable solid phase and the -phase represents a Newtonian fluid.
