Influence of Thickness of the Porous Layer on Thin Film Condensation in Forced Convection in a Canal Whose Walls are Covered with a Porous Material: Determination of Lengths of Entry
Abstract:We have examined film condensation in a channel whose walls are covered with porous media numerically. The transfers in the porous medium and the liquid film are respectively described by the Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model and the equations of the hydrodynamic and thermal boundary layers and are solved by the decentered implicit finite difference method and the iterative Gauss-Seidel method.
After validating, the influence of the thickness of the porous layer on the longitudinal velocity and the temper… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
