Flow Through Super-elliptic Ducts Filled with a Darcy-Brinkman Medium
The fully developed flow and constant flux heat transfer in super-elliptic ducts filled with a porous (Darcy-Brinkman) medium are studied. Super-elliptic ducts resemble rectangular ducts with rounded corners. An efficient Ritz method is used to determine the velocity and temperature fields. Extensive tables for friction factor-Reynolds number product and Nusselt number are given.
