Summary
In recent decade, the development in nanotechnology inspired the scientists and industrialists due to its wide variety of fantastic applications. The challenges in the heat transfer processes in the industries and in many other engineering and medical fields have been overcome by the development of nanofluid dynamics. A suspension of nanosized particles (metallic or non-metallic) with poor heat transfer base fluids (Water or Organic solvents) is called Nanofluids. Nanofluids have application in magnetic sealants (mechanical), solar water heater (energy), antibacterial, theranosticm and nanocryo surgery (medical) etc. Both theoretical and experimental researchers is being tried to develop the concept of nanofluids due its enhanced thermal properties and energy saving effect. Still we are in need of more theoretical and experimental multidisciplinary researches on nanofluids.
This special issue focuses on covering a variety of scientific topics related to the developments in the field of nanotechnology and heat transfer. its main target is to provide a platform for the researchers across different fields who are involved with heat transfer nanotechnology and fluid dynamics. Therefore, we invite high-quality research papers focusing on recent and significant studies on modelling and simulation of nanofluids in different engineering geometries.

Abstract The complex resistivity of coal and related rocks contains abundant physical property information, which can be
indirectly used to study the lithology and microstructure of these materials. These aspects are closely related to the
fluids inside the considered coal rocks, such as gas, water and coalbed methane. In the present analysis, considering different lithological structures, and using the Cole-Cole model, a forward simulation method is used to study
different physical parameters such as the zero-frequency resistivity, the polarizability, the relaxation time, and the
frequency correlation coefficient. Moreover, using a least square technique, a complex resistivity “inversion” algorithm is written. The…

Abstract The buoyancy driven flow of a second-grade nanofluid in the presence of a binary chemical reaction is analyzed in the context of a model based on the balance equations for mass, species concentration, momentum and energy. The elastic properties of the considered fluid are taken into account. The two-dimensional slip flow of such non-Newtonian fluid over a porous flat material which is stretched vertically upwards is considered. The role played by the activation energy is accounted for through an exponent form modified Arrhenius function added to the Buongiorno model for the nanofluid concentration. The effects of thermal radiation are also…
