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.
