Fluid flow refers to the motion of a fluid under the influence of various unbalanced forces. It primarily belongs to a branch of fluid mechanics that is typically concerned with the dynamics of fluids. Heat transfer is a field of thermal engineering that focuses on the consumption, exchange, generation and conversion of thermal energy among physical systems. It is divided into several mechanisms, including thermal radiation, thermal conduction, thermal convection and transmission of energy through phase changes. Fluid flow and heat transfer are critical components of engineering process design. Heat transfer into a fluid leads to the development of an equilibrium temperature under constant flow, which requires the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. This book includes some of the vital pieces of works being conducted across the world on fluid flow and heat transfer. It will also provide interesting topics for research, which interested readers can take up. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.

Fluid flow and heat transfer processes play a significant role in various fields of engineering and science from microscopic to the planetary scale. Heat transfer can be improved by using nanofluids. The problem with fluid flow occurs because of a continuously moving surface in an ambient fluid, which differs from the fluid that flows past a fixed surface. Fluid flow problems in the absence of chemical reactions and electromagnetic forces involve thermal and mechanical variables only. There are three methods or techniques that are utilized to address problems in fluid mechanics and heat transfer, namely, numerical methods, experimental methods, and theoretical methods. This book aims to shed light on the science and engineering of fluid flow and heat transfer. It consists of contributions made by international experts. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
