    Heat transfer is an important phenomenon in the industrial sector. Thus, the simulation is made to compute the distribution of heat in a rectangular channel in this paper. A heated rod is inserted at the center of the rectangular channel. The fluid flowing in the rectangular channel is considered to be a viscous fluid. Navier–Stokes equations of motion for laminar flow are used. The medium for the fluid motion is considered to be a porous medium. Heat transfer is computed for nonlinear two-dimensional incompressible and unsteady flows. The Fourier’s law of heat conduction is used for the transmission of heat in the rectangular channel. The Finite Element Method (FEM) is applied to the solution of the problem. For different values of the permeability parameter, Prandtl number and Rayleigh number, the graphic solution for the velocity and temperature fields is shown.
