Mag., vol. 12, pp. 865−896, 1931) for forced convection from a wedge is extended to the case where a thin layer of a porous medium is attached to each surface of the wedge. The analysis involves an expansion in powers of a small parameter ξ = αBJ−1 (Ku/vx)1/2 involving the downstream coordinate x, the Beavers−Joseph coefficient αBJ, permeability K, the free stream velocity u, and the kinematic viscosity v. The results for the Nusselt number are expressed in terms of a parameter N = αBJDa−1⁄2kr, where kr is the fluid-to-porous-medium conductivity ratio. %8 2006-11-01
