Analysis of Heat and Mass Transfer in a Vertical Annular Porous Cylinder Using FEM

The present study is intended to study heat and mass transfer in a vertical annular cylinder embedded with saturated porous medium. The inner surface of cylinder is maintained at uniform wall temperature and uniform wall concentration. The governing partial differential equations are non-dimensionalised and solved by using finite element method (FEM). The porous medium is discritised using triangular elements with uneven element size. Large number of smaller-sized elements are placed near the walls of the annulus to capture the smallest variation in solution parameters. The results are reported for both aiding and opposing flows. The effects of various non-dimensional numbers such as buoyancy ratio, Lewis number, Rayleigh number, aspect ratio, etc on heat and mass transfer are discussed. The temperature and concentration profiles are presented.

Conjugate Heat Transfer in an Annulus with Porous Medium Fixed Between Solids

Conjugate heat transfer is an important area of research which has been in demand due to its applications related to various scientific and engineering fields. The current research is focused to study the heat transfer in a porous medium sandwiched between two solid walls of an annular vertical cylinder. The prime focus of the current study was to evaluate the effect of solid wall thickness, the influence of variable wall thickness at inner and the outer radius, the conductivity ratio and the solid wall conductivity ratio on the heat transfer characteristics of the porous medium. The surface at inner and outer radii of the annulus is maintained isothermally at
