Flow and Heat Transfer of Micropolar Fluid in Porous Medium Existing Between Parallel Solid Plates
摘要
The current study examines the flow and heat transfer of micropolar fluid in a porous medium. The walls are maintained at two different constant temperatures, and the Brinkman equation has been used for the fluid flow under constant pressure gradient. The governing equation of the problem is solved analytically. The expressions for fluid velocity, micro-rotation and heat transfer, flow rate, wall shear stress, and heat transfer rate have been achieved in its closed form. The effect of various physical parameters on the velocity profile and temperature are represented graphically.
