Next, the effect of nanofluid in the presence of an electric field, magnetic field, and thermal radiation are investigated, with final sections devoted to nanofluid flow in porous media and application of nanofluid for solidification.

The models discussed in the book have applications in various fields, including mathematics, physics, information science, biology, medicine, engineering, nanotechnology, and materials science.

Providing a rigorous framework to help readers develop devices employing nanofluids, the book addresses basic topics that include the analysis and measurements of thermophysical properties, convection, and heat exchanger performance. It explores the issues of convective instabilities, nanofluids in porous media, and entropy generation in nanofluids. The book also contains the latest advancements, innovations, methodologies, and research on the subject.

Presented in 16 chapters, the text:

• Discusses the possible mechanisms of thermal conduction enhancement
• Reviews the results of a theoretical analysis determining the anomalous enhancement of heat transfer in nanofluid flow
• Assesses different approaches modeling the thermal conductivity enhancement of nanofluids
• Focuses on experimental methodologies used to determine the thermophysical properties of nanofluids
• Analyzes forced convection heat transfer in nanofluids in both laminar and turbulent convection
• Highlights the application of nanofluids in heat exchangers and microchannels
• Discusses the utilization of nanofluids in porous media
• Introduces the boiling of nanofluids
• Treats pool and flow boiling by analyzing the effect of nanoparticles on these complex phenomena
• Indicates future research directions to further develop this area of knowledge, and more

Intended as a reference for researchers and engineers working in the field, Heat Transfer Enhancement with Nanofluids presents advanced topics that detail the strengths, weaknesses, and potential future developments in nanofluids heat transfer.

The articles, which serve as a broad review for experts in the field, are also of great interest to non-specialists who need to keep up-to-date on the results of the latest research. This serial is essential reading for all mechanical, chemical, and industrial engineers working in the field of heat transfer, or in graduate schools or industry.
