this work presents the heat transfer characteristics of a new type of porous radiant air heater that operates on the basis of effective energy conversion method between flowing gas enthalpy and thermal radiation. at each layer, the gas and solid phases are considered in non-local thermal equilibrium, and combustion in the porous radiant burner is modeled by considering a non-uniform heat genera...

In this paper, conjugate heat transfer of magneto hydrodynamic mixed convection of nanofluid about a vertical slender hollow cylinder embedded in a porous medium with high porosity have been numerically studied. The Forchheimer’s modification of Darcy’s law was used in representing the nanofluid motion inside the porous media. The governing boundary layer equations were transformed to non-dimen...

Macromolecule transport within an artery is investigated and a comprehensive analytical solution is presented. The transport within the lumen and the arterial wall are coupled. Arterial wall is modeled as a four-layer porous wall. The layers are all treated as macroscopically homogeneous porous media. The volume-averaged porous media equations are employed to solve for transport through the por...

According to the former researcher’s presented relations for flow through rock-fill porous media, the effects of physical characteristics was not studied separately. Hence, due to the application of these relations, physical characteristics of porous materials effect must be investigated separately. In various constructed physical models of porous media, the effect of several variables such as ...

An analytical solution is presented for a robust four-layer porous model for the description of the LDL transport in the arterial wall coupled with the transport in the lumen. The endothelium, intima, internal elastic lamina (IEL) and media are all treated as homogenous porous media and modeled using volume-averaged porous media transport equations. The analytical solution is derived based on c...

Based on an effective energy conversion method between gas enthalpy and thermal radiation, a multi-layered type of porous air heater has been proposed. In the five layered structure which is analyzed in this work, there are five porous layers which are separated by four quartz glass windows. The main layer operates as a porous radiant burner that products a large amount of thermal radiative ene...

A Computational model to solve the coupled transport equations with chemical reaction and phase change for a liquid droplet between two approaching porous or non-porous surfaces, is developed. The model is general therefore it can be applied to toxic chemicals (contact hazard), drug delivery through porous organs and membranes, combustion processes within porous material, and liquid movements i...
