The results are presented from a numerical finite-difference method of calculation for the transient behavior of porous media when subjected to a step change in fluid temperature considering the case where the longitudinal thermal heat conduction cannot be neglected. These results, given in tabular and graphical form, provide a useful means for evaluating the heat-transfer data obtained from the transient testing of compact heat-exchanger surfaces.
