Essentials of Heat and Fluid Flow in Porous Media

Page

Knowledge of heat and fluid flow through porous media finds extensive applications in several engineering devices spanning four major division, mechanical, civil, chemical and bio-engineering. This textbook fills the knowledge-gap between available research monographs in porous media and basic thermo-fluids courses required to understand such monographs.
