For instance, in alloy solidification, between the solid and the fluid phases there is a region called mushy zone which contains both fluid and solid. Its structure is very complicated but can be handled as an anisotropic porous medium with directional variation in permeability. Other industrial applications such as fl ow over heat exchanger matrices, flow through turbo-machines, primary and secondary oil recoveries etc. can very well be approximated as porous media. Finally, it seems appropriate to mention that cooling of electronic micro systems is becoming more and more important as much of our modern day equipment contains more and more electronic circuits. In order to increase their performance and life, it is essential to have proper cooling arrangement. A reliable flow and heat transfer prediction in these arrangements is always difficult due to the complexity of flow structure. However, a porous medium approximation to such problems can be efficient. The generalized procedure described in this study is a good approximation for these structures. <o:p> </o:p> }, number={023}, publisher={Kütahya Dumlupinar University}
