A method, system and apparatus for analyzing heat flux bifurcation within a porous medium by analyzing a convective heat transfer process within a channel partially filled with a porous medium under local thermal non-equilibrium conditions. Either the thermal dispersion effect or the inertial effect can be considered in a physical model. Exact solutions can be derived for both fluid and solid temperature distributions for three interface thermal models at a porous-fluid interface. The required conditions for validity of each interface thermal model can be obtained, and equivalence correlations between different interface thermal models can be developed. The range of validity of local thermal equilibrium condition can be established, and heat flux bifurcation within a porous medium can be established and demonstrated. Furthermore, a Nusselt number can be obtained and investigated for pertinent parameters.
