Abstract

The aim of this paper is the study of the mass transfer resistance effects at the boundary of a fractured porous media. The boundary between the porous media adjacent to the fluid considers the transient effects. The numerical experiments show that the α parameter has an influence that facilitates the mass transfer of the porous region to the fluid region. The α parameter expresses the relation of the mass transfer resistances between the porous media and the homogeneous fluid; in the present work it is considered as a parameter which facilities mass transfer of the porous region to the fluid region.
