NOVEL SIMILARITY-SOLUTION WHICH IS APPLICABLE FOR FREE CONVECTION OVER A BODY OF ARBITRARY SHAPE: THERMAL NON-EQUILIBRIUM IN A POROUS MEDIUM

Abstract The study of the natural convection flow and heat transfer from hot surfaces in a porous medium has been of considerable interest in energy-related engineering problems. This paper is concerned with the free convection heat transfer over an arbitrary hot surface in a porous medium. It is as...
