Nanofluid Flow, Heat, and Mass Transfer at Stretching Surfaces

Nanofluid Flow, Heat, and Mass Transfer at Stretching Surfaces explores nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid flow at a moving surface, stretching plate, stretching disk, and past a stretching surface. It demonstrates the wide range of applications of nanofluid heat and mass transport enhancement in many industrial and manufacturing processes. With a combination of numerical and analytical approaches, the book presents multiple solution strategies including boundary layer flow problems with dimensionless equations, numerical simulation, and theoretical approaches. It discusses unique physical phenomena including phase change, buoyancy, chemical reactions, moving/stretching surfaces, and magnetohydrodynamics. The book analyzes hybrid nanofluid flow past a stretching surface in the presence of a magnetic field and the effects of activation energy and heat generation/absorption. It includes real-world case studies and solutions. The book will interest industry researchers and graduate students studying applications of nanotechnology and nanofluids within the fields of mechanical, chemical, manufacturing, and biomedical engineering.
