【 摘 要 】

Heat transfer in porous medium has been an intense field of study for many years that has tremendously improved our understanding about the heat flow behavior in porous region. Finite element method has been widely acknowledged to be one of the most robust numerical techniques that has proven its capability in handling the tedious and complex set of equations representing various phenomenon. The present research investigates the heat transfer inside a L shaped porous domain having heated from bottom surface and cooled at the top edge. Finite element method is used with the help of triangular element to divide the porous domain into smaller segments. The results are discussed with respect to various physical parameters affecting the heat transfer behaviour.
