Executive Summary :

Recently, a significant motivation has been provided for a more extensive research of enhancement techniques as a result of the significant role that heat transfer plays in a variety of engineering domains. Researchers in the field of heat transfer continually look for novel approaches to improve the efficiency of energy devices through heat transport. One of the many methods that may be used to augment the energy systems thermal performance is the incorporation of solid nanoparticles into commonly used working liquids. Different types of systems, such as heat exchangers, household refrigerators, autos, electronic equipment, buildings and so on, are all capable of transferring heat. In light of this, the use of appropriate methods for heat transfer improvement is necessary for the optimization of energy devices, and the usage of nanofluids is one of the relatively recent options that may fit this objective. Hence, the prime goal of this research is to inspect the influence of a convective boundary constraint on boundary layer flow, heat transport, and nanoparticle fraction in a nanofluid across various stretching surfaces. The modelling of real-world problem generates highly nonlinear differential equations. By utilizing proper similarity variables, the modelling equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations which are solved using various effective analytical and numerical methods. For this the software’s such as MATLAB, MAPLE, MATHEMATICA and other useful tools will be utilized. It is believed that the findings will not only offer important info for applications, but will also act as a supplement to prior research. This leads to the decision that using the nanoparticles in the liquid flow over a stretching surface in heat exchangers and numerous major applications meets the heating/cooling rate requirements of industrial processes.
