    A study of flow and heat transfer of nanofluid over a flat plate
    (G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2017-05) Upreti, Himanshu; Manoj Kumar
    Recent work deals with the problem pertinent to flow and heat transfer of nanofluid flow over a flat porous plate under the influence of suction/injection, heat generation/absorption and viscous-Ohmic dissipation. The influences of these parameters and other factor governing the flow have been analyzed and their impact on velocity and thermal boundary layer is reveal through graphs. Moreover, the non-dimensional quantities i.e., skin friction coefficient and heat transfer rate (Nusselt number) have also been computed and included in this study. The study presented in the thesis includes five chapters. The first chapter aims to fulfill the basic need of introducing the various concepts and foundation needed for fluid mechanics. Chapter two throw light on majority of passed research work related with the present work. Chapter three covers the mathematical formulation of the problem and its detailed description. A proper description of used methodology, together with the details of the numerical solution is also presented. Chapter four describes the result and discussion of the considered problem taken in chapter three. The work has been summarized in chapter five. In along with the finding of the study, the literature used in the course of the study has been referred under the section of literature cited. The related study may be helpful to applied scientific fields and different branch of engineering and applied mathematics.
