Boundary-Layer Heat Transfer from a Stretching Circular Cylinder in a Nanofluid

摘要

THE study of convective heat transfer in nanofluids is gaining anlot of attention. The nanofluids have many applications in thenindustries sincematerials of nanometer size have unique physical andnchemical properties. Nanofluids are solid-liquid compositematerialsnconsisting of solid nanoparticles or nanofibers with sizes typically ofn1–100 nm suspended in liquid. Nanofluids have attracted greatninterest recently because of reports of greatly enhanced thermalnproperties.
