Contents Notes | Dual-Phase-Lagging and Porous-Medium Heat Conduction Processes -- Heat Transfer Analysis Under Local Thermal Non-equilibrium Conditions -- General Heterogeneity Effects on the Onset of Convection in a Porous Medium -- The Instability of Unsteady Boundary Layers in Porous Media -- Analytical Transition to Weak Turbulence and Chaotic Natural Convection in Porous Media -- Natural Convection in Gravity-Modulated Porous Layers -- Thermal Vibrational Convection in a Porous Medium Saturated by a Pure or Binary Fluid -- New Developments in Bioconvection in Porous Media: Bioconvection Plumes, Bio-Thermal Convection, and Effects of Vertical Vibration -- Macromolecular Transport in Arterial Walls: Current and Future Directions -- Flow and Heat Transfer in Biological Tissues: Application of Porous Media Theory -- Metal Foams as Passive Thermal Control Systems -- Nanofluid Suspensions and Bi-composite Media as Derivatives of Interface Heat Transfer Modeling in Porous Media. This book provides a unique collection of articles reviewing the state-of-the-art in the field of heat and mass transfer in porous media with particular emphasis to emerging technologies, from bioengineering and bio-tissues and microelectronics to nanotechnology. The integration of the different topics is presented via a combination of theoretical and applied methodology to provide a self-contained major reference that is appealing to both the scientist and the engineer. Audience: Researchers and graduate students, developers in industrial companies. |
