Senegal’s rural electrification rate remains below 55%, with off-grid communities heavily dependent on diesel generation at costs of 190–220 FCFA/kWh. Groundnut shell, a lignocellulosic agricultural residue available at an estimated 700,000–900,000 tonnes annually across Senegal’...

We have examined film condensation in a channel whose walls are covered with porous media numerically. The transfers in the porous medium and the liquid film are respectively described by the Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model and the equations of the hydrodynamic and thermal bound...

A numerical modeling of the effect of the ratio of thermal conductivity on the thin film condensation in forced convection in a canal whose walls are covered with a porous material is presented. In this work, the generalized Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer (DBF) equations in the porou...
