Forced Convection Heat Transfer of Nanofluids in a Porous Channel

First and second law analyses of nanofluid forced convection in a partially-filled porous channel – The effects of local thermal non-equilibrium and internal heat sources

“…Their analyses showed that an 7 increase in Lewis number results in decreasing the local Nusselt number in the porous channel. However, the 8 volume fraction of the nanoparticles appeared to be rather insensitive to the variation in Lewis number [22].…”

“…Maghrebi et al [22] released the assumption of uniform distribution of nanoparticles in the forced convection of 5 nanofluids through a porous channel. They considered the simultaneous problems of momentum and heat 6 transport along with the transfer of particles by convection and diffusion [22].…”

Theoretical investigation of entropy generation and heat transfer by forced convection of copper–water nanofluid in a porous channel — Local thermal non-equilibrium and partial filling effects

“…Their investigation revealed that the Lewis number inversely correlates with the local Nusselt 4 number in the porous channel [17]. Nevertheless, the volume fraction of nanoparticles was found uncorrelated…”

“…modelled the problems of simultaneous momentum, heat and nanoparticles transport by convection and 3 diffusion [17]. Their investigation revealed that the Lewis number inversely correlates with the local Nusselt 4 number in the porous channel [17].…”
