Abstract

The effect of viscous dissipation on the temperature profile of the laminar flow in a channel filled with saturated porous media is analyzed. The source of inspiration of this work could be found in Makinde et al. [4]. In this new paper, we include the viscous dissipation term which has an effect on the temperature profile of the fluid flow in the channel. The Brinkman model was employed. Velocity and temperature profiles are obtained for large Brinkman number using Pascal programming language and Maple software packages. Generally our result shows that the fluid temperature decreases with a decrease in porous media permeability (s increases) as the Brinkman number Br, increases.
