Abstract
A theoretical analysis is presented to investigate thermally and hydrodynamically fully developed forced convection in a duct of rectangular cross section filled with a hyper-porous medium. The Darcy-Brinkman model was adopted in the present analysis. A Fourier series type solution is applied to obtain the exact velocity and temperature distribution within the duct. The case of uniform heat flux on the walls, i.e., the H boundary condition in the terminology of Kays and Crawford (1993, Convective Heat and Mass Transfer, 3rd ed., McGraw-Hill, NY), is treated. Values of the Nusselt number and the friction factor as a function of the aspect ratio, the Darcy number, and the viscosity ratio are reported.
