About this title

Synopsis

"Convective Flow and Heat Transfer fromWavy Surfaces: Viscous Fluids, Porous Media, and Nanofluids" book addresses the wavy irregular surfaces in heat transfer devices. Wavy geometries are used in many engineering systems as a means ofenhancing the transport performance. Therefore, knowledge about convective flowand heat transfer from wavy surfaces becomes important in this context. Solar collectors, condensers in refrigerators, cavity wall insulating systems, grainstorage containers, industrial heat radiators, for example, are a few of many applications where wavy surfaces are encountered to transfer small or large scale heat. The focus on the area of convective flow and heat transfer from wavy surfaces in complex enclosures like square, trapezoidal and rectangular has been intensifying over the years due to the increasing interest of researchers from applied mathematics, mechanical and chemical engineering as well as from biomechanics and engineering mechanics. The present monograph has been written with the idea of fulfilling a definite need to have a comprehensive treatise on the subject of convective flowand heat transfer from wavy surfaces and in cavities having wavy walls.
