This book focuses on the use of nanotechnology in several fields of engineering. Among others
the reader will find valuable information as to how nanotechnology can aid in extending the
life of component materials exposed to corrosive atmospheres in thermal fluid energy
conversion processes anti-reflection coatings on photovoltaic cells to yield enhanced output
from solar cells in connection with friction and wear reduction in automobiles and buoyancy
suppression in free convective heat transfer. Moreover this unique resource presents the
latest research on nanoscale transport phenomena and concludes with a look at likely future
trends.
