The present article considers a numerical study of thermal dispersion effect on the non-Darcy natural convection over a vertical flat plate in a fluid saturated porous medium. Forchheimer extension is considered in the flow equations. The coefficient of thermal diffusivity has been assumed to be the sum of molecular diffusivity and the dispersion thermal diffusivity due to mechanical dispersion. The ... إقراء المزيد

Deterioration factors, both “exogenous” and “endogenous”, are major sources of damaging monumental stones in Egypt. In the current study, the change state of one of the major Egyptian stones (Nubia Sandstone) is investigated and evaluated before and after consolidation by the use of wave velocity as a new method for detecting its elasticity modulus. Wave velocity propagation (Vp) is one ... إقراء المزيد
