Introduction to nanofluids--their properties, synthesis, characterization, and applications  Nanofluids are attracting a great deal of interest with their enormous potential to provide enhanced performance properties, particularly with respect to heat transfer. In response, this text takes you on a complete journey into the science and technology of nanofluids. The authors cover both the chemical and physical methods for synthesizing nanofluids, explaining the techniques for creating a stable suspension of nanoparticles. You get an overview of the existing models and experimental techniques used in studying nanofluids, alongside discussions of the challenges and problems associated with some of these models.  Next, the authors set forth and explain the heat transfer applications of nanofluids, including microelectronics, fuel cells, and hybrid-powered engines. You also get an introduction to possible future applications in large-scale cooling and biomedicine.  This book is the work of leading pioneers in the field, one of whom holds the first U.S. patent for nanofluids. They have combined their own first-hand knowledge with a thorough review of theliterature. Among the key topics are: *   Synthesis of nanofluids, including dispersion techniques and characterization methods *   Thermal conductivity and thermo-physical properties *   Theoretical models and experimental techniques *   Heat transfer applications in microelectronics, fuel cells, and vehicle engines   This text is written for researchers in any branch of science and technology, without any prerequisite.It therefore includes some basic information describing conduction, convection, and boiling of nanofluids for those readers who may not have adequate background in these areas. Regardless of your background, you'll learn to develop nanofluids not only as coolants, but also for a host ofnew applications on the horizon.

<p>The present text is aimed at giving the students a substantial feel of the fundamentals of heat transfer applied to process industry. Though the introduction of the material is made at the undergraduate level for a first course in ‘Process Heat Transfer’, it includes enough advanced material for postgraduate courses on ‘Process Heat Transfer’ or ‘Heat Exchangers’. The book starts with summary of single phase heat transfer. Subsequently classification, selection and basic theory of heat transfer equipment are explained. Based on this, traditional heat exchangers as well as stirred tanks are treated in detail. Special emphasis has been laid on plate type heat exchangers. The second part of the book introduces two-phase heat transfer followed by apparatus dealing with phase change such as condensers, evaporators, reboilers and cooling towers. Finally, recent advances in process optimization through pinch technology and energy analysis along with transient response of heat exchangers are introduced. The book stresses on design approach.</p>

<p>Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer is an introductory text elaborating the interface between Heat Transfer and subjects like Thermodynamics or Fluid Mechanics presenting the scientific basis of the equations and their physical explanations in a lucid way. The basic theories such as the Boundary Layer Theory and theories related to bubble growth during phase change have been explained in detail. In two-phase heat transfer, the deviations from standard theories such as the Nusselt s theory of condensation have been discussed. In the chapter on heat exchangers detailed classification, selection, analysis and design procedures have been enumerated while two chapters on numerical simulation have also been included.</p>

This reference text book is therefore devoted to a basic fundamental and yet understandable exposition of the principles of heat and mass transfer. The treatment of the subject is based upon background in physics mathematics and thermodynamics which has- been acquired by average engineering student. Although special effort has been made to provide a physical interpretation of the many quantities and processes rather extensive analytical material is also included. This approach is necessary to give a representative picture and to encourage appreciation for both the experimental and analytical procedures employed. Special attention has been given to the derivation and explanation of numerous dimensionless parameters and theoretical and semi-empirical equations in order to establish the students confidence in them and develop his judgement of their range of applicability and limitations.
