| description abstract | This special issue of Journal of Heat Transfer focuses on the recent advances in Porous Media Transport as related to applications in industry and biology. Transport phenomena through porous media have been the subject of various studies due to the wide range of applicability of these research areas in contemporary technology, for example, biological, electronics cooling, thermal insulation engineering, geothermal and environmental engineering, heat pipes, underground spreading of chemical waste, nuclear waste repository, grain storage and enhanced recovery of petroleum reservoirs. This interest is further driven by practical applications that can be modeled as transport through porous media such as packed bed heat exchangers, drying technology, catalytic reactors, petroleum industries, geothermal systems, tissue engineering, drug delivery, and advanced medical imaging as related to brain stroke. | |
