Natural convection heat transfer from an inclined wavy plate in a bidisperse porous medium
This work studies the natural convection heat transfer from an inclined wavy plate in a bidisperse porous medium with uniform wall temperature. The two-velocity two-temperature formulation is used to derive the governing equations of this system. The Prandtl coordinate transformation is used to transform the wavy surface into a regular plane, and the obtained equations are then simplified further by the order-of-magnitude analysis to give the boundary layer equations. The cubic spline collocation method is used to solve the boundary layer governing equations. The effects of dimensionless amplitude, angle of inclination, inter-phase heat transfer parameter, modified thermal conductivity ratio, and permeability ratio on the heat transfer and flow characteristics are studied. Increasing the modified thermal conductivity ratio and the permeability ratio can effectively enhance the natural convection heat transfer of the inclined plate in bidisperse porous media. Moreover, the thermal non-equilibrium effects are significant for low values of the inter-phase heat transfer parameter. As the dimensionless amplitude increases, both the fluctuations of the local Nusselt number for the f-phase and the p-phase with the streamwise coordinate are enhanced.
