modeling a variety of biological processes.
Focusing on heat transfer in porous media, this book covers recent
advances in nano and macro' scales. Apart from introducing heat
flux bifurcation and splitting within porous media, it highlights
two-phase flow, nanofluids, wicking, and convection in bi-disperse
porous media. New methods in modeling heat and transport in porous
media, such as pore-scale analysis and Lattice-Boltzmann methods,
are introduced. The book covers related engineering applications,
such as enhanced geothermal systems, porous burners, solar systems,
transpiration cooling in aerospace, heat transfer enhancement and
electronic cooling, drying and soil evaporation, foam heat
exchangers, and polymer-electrolyte fuel cells.
This Handbook provides researchers, faculty, design engineers in
industrial R&D, and practicing engineers in the field concise
treatments of advanced and more-recently established topics in
thermal science and engineering, with an important emphasis on
