Books in the Computational & Physical Processes in Mechanics & Thermal Scienc series

This book provides a thorough understanding of fluid dynamics and heat and mass transfer. The second edition contains new chapters on mesh generation and computational modeling of turbulent flow. Combining theory and practice in classic problems and computer code, the text includes examples in ANSYS, STAR CCM+, and COMSOL.

This work features contributed chapters on heat transfer and fluid flow processes in nanomaterials and nanofluids, an area of increasing importance in engineering. Leading experts explore a wide range of topics, including nanomaterial properties, nanotechnology for biological heat transfer, multiscale nano-simulations, energy conversion, nanotreatments for cancers, fluid dynamic modeling, nanofiltration, microchannel flow, and natural convection of nanofluids. The book presents the state of the art and offers a view of the future, making it a valuable resource for experts as well as newcomers to this growing field.
