This book deals with certain aspects of material science, particularly with the release of thermal energy associated with bond breaking. It clearly establishes the connection between heat transfer rates and product quality. The editors then sharply draw the thermal distinctions between the various categories of welding processes, and demonstrate how these distinctions are translated into simulation model uniqueness. The book discusses the incorporation of radiative heat transfer processes into the simulation model.

Artificial Intelligence in Heat Transfer shows how artificial intelligence (AI) tools and techniques, such as artificial neural networks, machine learning algorithms, genetic algorithms, etc., provide practical benefits specific to thermal sciences. It presents case studies involving heat and mass transfer, multi-objective optimization, conjugate heat transfer, nanofluids, thermal radiation, heat transfer through porous media (metal foam), and more.Drawing on the collective expertise of leading researchers and experts in multiple fields, the book provides an in-depth understanding of the possibilities that emerge when these tools are applied to problems related to thermal sciences. AI is an ever-evolving discipline that has created new and groundbreaking opportunities to advance the mechanical engineering field, particularly in the area of numerical heat transfer. This volume, Advances in Numerical Heat Transfer, explores various ways AI is used in heat transfer to solve engineering problems.This book will serve as an important resource for upper-level undergraduate students, researchers, engineers, and professionals, equipping them with the knowledge and inspiration to push the boundaries of the thermal sciences through AI-driven tools and techniques.

Nanofluid Flow, Heat, and Mass Transfer at Stretching Surfaces explores nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid flow at a moving surface, stretching plate, stretching disk, and past a stretching surface. It demonstrates the wide range of applications of nanofluid heat and mass transport enhancement in many industrial and manufacturing processes.With a combination of numerical and analytical approaches, the book presents multiple solution strategies, including boundary layer flow problems with dimensionless equations, numerical simulation, and theoretical approaches. It discusses unique physical phenomena, including phase change, buoyancy, chemical reactions, moving/stretching surfaces, and magnetohydrodynamics. The book analyzes hybrid nanofluid flow past a stretching surface in the presence of a magnetic field and the effects of activation energy and heat generation/absorption. It includes real-world case studies and solutions.The book will interest industry researchers and graduate students studying applications of nanotechnology and nanofluids within the fields of mechanical, chemical, manufacturing, and biomedical engineering.
