Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the mathematical formulation of the problems of
convective heat transfer in geothermal systems. Geothermal reservoirs may have numerous …

An analysis is made for steady free convection about a vertical flat plate embedded in a
saturated porous medium at high Rayleigh numbers. Within the framework of boundary layer …

An experimental investigation has been performed on the laminar convective heat transfer
and pressure drop of water in 13 different trapezoidal silicon microchannels. It is found that …

Inspired by the fractal pattern of mammalian circulatory and respiratory systems, a new design
of fractal branching channel net for cooling of electronic chips is studied in this paper. A …

In this paper a fractal permeability model for bi-dispersed porous media is developed based
on the fractal characteristics of pores in the media. The fractal permeability model is found to …

The thermal dispersion conductivity tensor for convection in a porous medium is derived
based on the method of volume averaging of the velocity and temperature deviations in the …

The morbidity associated with neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) is increasing, posing a
threat to the mental and physical quality of life of humans. The crucial effect of microbiota on …
