Abstract
An approximate solution to the heat transfer in a flow of a viscous incompressible fluid through a porous medium bounded by two infinite parallel plates, the lower one stationary and the upper one oscillating in its own plane, is presented. Expressions for the mean temperature, the amplitude, and phase of the first and second harmonic of the rate of heat transfer and the mean rate of heat transfer are derived. The mean temperature is shown on graphs and the numerical values of the amplitudes and the phase are entered in a table. It is observed that the mean rate of heat transfer decreases with more ease of percolation but increases with increasing the frequency ω.
