This book provides descriptions of single- and two-phase flows and of heat transfer in porous media. The author presents the fundamentals of fluid mechanics, conduction, convection (including dispersion), and radiation, starting from first principles and then applying volume-averaging techniques. For phenomena for which a complete theoretical treatment is not available semi-empirical treatments are given. Special attention is given to hydrodynamics, dispersion, and phase changes at and near the surfaces bounding the porous medium. The aim is to provide practicing engineers and researcher...
