Modeling of thermal non-equilibrium

Abstract

© 2016, The Author(s).Convection heat transfer in porous media has been extensively investigated due to its many important engineering applications. The wide applications available have led to numerous investigations in this area. Such applications can be found in solar receiver devices, building thermal insulation, heat exchangers, energy storage units, etc. From the point of view of the energy equation there are two different models, local thermal equilibrium model and two energy approach.
