Non‐darcy forced convective heat transfer in a channel embedded in a non‐newtonian inelastic fluid‐saturated porous medium

The present analysis investigates non‐Darcy forced convective heat transfer in a channel confined by two parallel walls subjected to uniform heat flux in a highly porous medium saturated with a non‐Newtonian power‐law fluid. Extensive numerical integrations have been carried out utilizing the Brinkman‐Forchheimer extension of the Darcy model in order to study the effects of pseudoplasticity, and Brinkman and Forchheimer terms on the heat transfer characteristics.
