This comprehensive textbook offers a thorough introduction, practical significance, and precise measurement of thermo-physical properties linked to the Prandtl number. It presents a methodology using slope linear regression through data points to delve deeper into the analysis. Serving as a valuable reference for scientific investigators, teachers of fluid mechanics, experts in heat and mass transfer, researchers in boundary layer flows, mechanical and chemical engineers, physicists, and postgraduate students engaged in transport phenomena, the book provides theoretical and empirical reviews on the impact of increasing the ratio of momentum diffusivity to thermal diffusivity.

The book encompasses a systematic overview of the latest statistical methodologies for understanding the relationship between dependent and independent variables. It also provides valuable pointers to theoretical and empirical reviews on the Prandtl number. In-depth analysis is conducted on various self-similar flows, with a particular emphasis on stretching-induced flows, nanofluid dynamics, suction, injection, free convection, mixed convection, and forced convection.

The book delves into insightful studies on thermal radiation, heat sour, heat sink, energy flux due to concentration gradient, mass flux due to temperature gradient, thermo-capillary convection flow, Joule heating, viscous dissipation, thermal stratification, thermophoresis, and Brownian motion of particles.

By presenting a comprehensive and detailed exploration of these topics, this textbook serves as a valuable resource for scholars and professionals seeking to advance their understanding of thermo-physical properties and their applications in diverse fields.
