Forced convective heat transfer in a porous medium

Abstract

This paper deals with a steady flow of a viscous fluid of finite depth in a porous medium over a fixed horizontal, 
impermeable bottom. Exact solutions of Momentum and Energy equations are obtained when the temperatures on 
the fixed bottom and on the free surface are prescribed. Flow rate, Mean velocity, Temperature, Mean Temperature 
in the flow region and the Nusselt number on the boundaries have been obtained. The cases of small depth (shallow 
fluid) and large depth (deep fluid) are also discussed. The results are illustrated graphically.
