✦ Synopsis

An illustrative model for bioheat transfer is developed. An analytical solution is obtained for forced convection in a parallel plate channel occupied by a layered saturated porous medium with counterflow, the dominant feature that distinguishes bioheat transfer from other forms of heat transfer. The case of asymmetrical constant heat-flux boundary conditions is considered and the Brinkman model is employed for the porous medium. It is found that the Nusselt number Nu is zero when the mean velocity is zero, and negative values can be attained.

This paper presents an analytic investigation of forced convection in parallel-plate channel partly occupied by a bidisperse porous medium and partly by a fluid clear of solid material, the distribution being asymmetrical. The walls of the channel are subject to an uniform heat flux; the flow is ass
