A study is made of flow and heat transfer during the motion of a non-Newtonian (power-law) fluid in a plane channel filled with porous material. The Brinkman equation is used as the equation of state, and a one-temperature model, in representing the energy equation. Account us taken of dissipative heat releases. The problem is solved for temperature boundary conditions of the first kind. The authors show the influence of dissipation on the development of the temperature profile, and also on the distributions of the local Nusselt number and the mass-mean temperature along the channel.
