Convection in Porous Media
Donald A. Nield,Adrian Bejan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an introduction to convection in porous media assumes the reader is familiar with basic fluid mechanics and heat transfer, going on to cover insulation of buildings, energy storage and recovery, geothermal reservoirs, nuclear waste disposal, chemical reactor engineering and the storage of heat-generating materials like grain and coal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural convective boundary-layer flow of a nanofluid past a vertical plate
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the natural convective boundary-layer flow of a nanofluid past a vertical plate and found that the reduced Nusselt number is a decreasing function of each of Nr, Nb and Nt.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Cheng–Minkowycz problem for natural convective boundary-layer flow in a porous medium saturated by a nanofluid
TL;DR: In this article, the Cheng-Minkowycz problem of natural convection past a vertical plate, in a porous medium saturated by a nanofluid, is studied analytically.
Journal ArticleDOI
Onset of Thermohaline Convection in a Porous Medium
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of the onset of convection, induced by buoyancy effects resulting from vertical thermal and solute concentration gradients, in a horizontal layer of a saturated porous medium, is treated by linear perturbation analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface tension and buoyancy effects in cellular convection
TL;DR: In this article, a Fourier series method has been used to obtain the eigenvalue equation for the case where the lower boundary surface is a rigid conductor and the upper free surface is subject to a general thermal condition.
