Development and analysis of stretched flows with nanoparticles

Abstract

The recent development in the field of science and technology, nanotechnology has proven to be more moderate and beneficial option as an application to the following fields: electronics, fuel cells, batteries, solar cells, space, fuels, better air quality, medicine, food, cleaner water, chemical sensors, sporting goods and fabric. In the view of all these aspects and applications there is an important field known as nanofluid which has contributed significantly due to their enhanced thermal performance, potential benefits and applications in several important fields such as microelectronics, transportation, microfluidics, manufacturing, medical, saving in energy; all these aspects are reducing process time and raising thermal rating as well as lengthening the life span of equipment and so on. There are several countries around the globe that facilitate research centers for the development sake of nanofluid and heat transfer process. Recently, Choi [1] presented an article in which he declared that there is an exponential rise in the Science Citation Index (SCI) production as it is found that research scope of nanofluid has now, more than ever, the fastest growing rates in scientific papers in nanoscale science and technology. There is an extensive range of industrial processes in which enhancement and transfer of heat energy is most commonly use at any industrial level. In fact it is a major task where heat must be removed, added, or transfer of process stream from one to another place and it has become an industrial necessity. So this processes required a huge source of energy to handle the process of fluid's heating/cooling and the transfer of heat.
