Conjugate free convection from a vertical plate fin with a rounded tip embedded in a porous medium

Conjugate Heat Transfer in an Annulus with Porous Medium Fixed Between Solids

“…It is reported that the reduction in aspect ratio by 25 % in a horizontal plate kept below the porous medium leads to 30-45 % reduction in temperature rise in the solid plate for Rayleigh number ranging from 1 to 1000 (Vaszi et al 2001), and the plate thickness plays an important role in boundary layer formation (Vaszi et al 2002). It is also noticed that in case of a solid cylindrical fin in porous medium, the local heat transfer coefficient and the local heat flux show a more gradual drop along the rounded tip as the aspect ratio of the fin becomes larger (Vaszi et al 2004). In case of a horizontal solid strip dividing two porous media, the heat transfer rate is found to be stronger when the hot porous medium is below the strip than the other way round (Higuera 1991).…”

A model on the basis of analytics for computing maximum heat transfer in porous fins

“…Naidu et al [41] solved numerically the problem of natural convection heat transfer from a vertical cylinder fin to a saturated porous medium in a cylindrical enclosure. A two-dimensional conjugate free convection from a vertical plate fin with a rounded tip embedded in a porous medium is investigated by Vaszi et al [42]. They have predicted that for a rounded tip with no restricted condition, such as an insulated tip, should be imposed in mathematical formulation.…”

Effects of buoyancy and conjugate heat transfer on non-Darcy mixed convection about a vertical slender hollow cylinder embedded in a porous medium with high porosity

“…The Darcy model was used in the mathematical formulation for the porous layer and finite volume method was used to solve the dimensionless governing equations. Vaszi et al [21] investigated two-dimensional conjugate free convection in a porous medium from a vertical plate fin. Hossain et al [22] investigated conjugate free convection along a vertical cylindrical fin in a non-Newtonian fluid-saturated porous medium.…”
