AB - This study reports a simple empirical correlation for friction factor and  Nusselt number for laminar, steady state, hydraulically and thermally fully  developed flow in isothermal parallel plate channel completely filled with  porous media. The study is carried out using a finite difference numerical  analysis. The Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model is used to model the flow  inside the porous media. The empirical correlations are developed to relate  friction factor and Nusselt number to Darcy and Forchheimer coefficient.
