Abstract

Conjugate heat transfer across a vertical solid wall separating natural convection in a cold fluid-saturated porous medium and film condensation in a saturated-vapour medium is analyzed. The analysis reveals that this thermal interaction process is mainly controlled by the thermal resistance ratio of wall to porous-side natural convection and that of condensate film to natural convection. Asymptotic and numerical results of interest are obtained for the local and mean overall Nusselt number as functions of these two thermal resistance ratios.
