An experimental study of natural convection with coupled heat and mass transfer in porous media.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The paper examines coupled heat and mass transfer in porous media where natural convection is caused by temperature and concentration differences. Two alternative non-dimensional models are developed and used to correlate the experimentally measured heat transfer across a porous medium. Such analogy models could be used in a wide range of heat and mass transfer processes. The effect of bed geometry on the two models is also discussed.
