Shelving Classification: Materials Science Title: Heat Transfer Enhancement Using Nanofluid Flow in MicrochannelsImprint: William AndrewISBN: 978-0-32-343139-2

Tagline: A detailed look at the mathematical simulation, modelling and applications of nanofluidic heat and mass transfer in microchannels.

• Gives readers the knowledge they need to be able to simulate nanofluids in a wide range of microchannels and optimise their heat transfer characteristics.

• Contains real-life examples, mathematical procedures, numerical algorithms and codes to allow readers to easily reproduce the methodologies covered, and to understand how they can be applied in practice.
• Presents novel applications for heat exchange systems, such as Entropy Generation Minimization and Figures of Merit, allowing readers to optimize the techniques they use.

Economic and environmental incentives have increased efforts to reduce energy consumption. Heat transfer enhancement, augmentation, or intensification are the terms that many scientists employ in their efforts in energy consumption reduction. These can be divided into (a) active techniques which require external forces such as magnetic force, and (b) passive techniques which do not require external forces, including geometry refinement and fluid additives. This book focuses on the numerical simulation of passive techniques, and also covers the applications of external forces on heat transfer enhancement of nanofluids in microchannels.

The main objective of this book is to introduce and to conduct a comprehensive study on the effects of nanoparticle inclusion on fluid flow and heat transfer of nanofluids in different type of microchannels. The book will therefore be of great value to materials scientists, chemical engineers, chemists and physicists seeking to improve the heat transfer rate in small-scale systems with nanoparticle inclusion.
