Transfer Phenomena in Non-Darcy Bidisperse Porous Media
Authors: , ,
Abstract: This paper presents the mathematical model for the free convection in a non-Darcy bidisperse porous medium. An appropriate mathematical model taken into account the Brinkman and Darcy-Forchheimer terms is proposed. A boundary layer problem and two cavity problems are discussed. Systems of partial differential equations containing inertial, inter-phase momentum, thermal diffusivity ratio, thermal conductivity ratio, permeability ratio, modified thermal capacity and convection parameters are solved numerically. The characteristics of the flow and heat transfer are discussed and presented graphically
