Description: The present volume attempts to capture some of this excitement by providing a cross-section of contemporary research in mass transfer and thermal processes in the modern engineering materials and technologies. The volume spans both experiment and modelling and covers both basic research and applied research. Topics covered are broad, covering heat exchange in porous media to the drying of sisal fibre, from the role of nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery to the atomistic of grain boundary diffusion and segregation.

Description: Modern Engineering and Physics very often deal with the need for the design of natural or induced phenomena and processes and this is especially true in the problems involving heat transfer or fluid flows, often on the basis of a Thermodynamic viewpoint or of the Constructal Law. These broad areas of research are presented in this special issue of the journal "Defect and Diffusion Forum".

Description:

The special issue on “Computational Analysis of Heat Transfer in Fluids and Solids” of the journal “Defect and Diffusion Forum” addresses various novel nonlinear models and computational techniques important for tackling the heat transfer phenomenon in fluids and solids. Numerical results are discussed quantitatively to illustrate the salient features of practical engineering and industrial applications. Topics covered by excellent research papers in this issue include: extended surfaces fins, reactive flow problem, Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow, nanofluids dynamics, boundary layer flow, natural convection, hydrodynamic stability, biomechanics, plasma physics, physics of dusty plasma, forced convection, mixed convection, magnetohydrodynamics, thermal radiation, porous media flow and irreversibility analysis. We anticipate that our special issue will stimulate and help a wide audience of researchers, engineers and educators from various fields of human activity.
