Abstract
This mini review explores the thermophysical characteristics of heat and fluid flow, emphasizing their importance in understanding environmental consequences and implications. By examining the fundamental interaction between thermal energy and fluid mechanics, this study aims to clarify how these characteristics affect ecological systems, energy efficiency, and climate change. The analysis combines theoretical frameworks with empirical data to assess heat transfer processes, fluid viscosity, and thermal conductivity in various natural and engineered settings. The results highlight the vital role of these properties in influencing environmental phenomena such as weather systems, pollutant distribution, and energy resources management. This work reinforces the need for interdisciplinary strategies to tackle climate-related issues and to enhance industrial practices that reduce negative environmental impacts. Ultimately, the insights derived from this research can guide policy making and foster sustainable approaches in energy generation and environmental stewardship. Furthermore, the study aims to contribute to the development of strategies that enhance resilience to climate variability while promoting efficiency in energy use and minimizing environmental degradation. Moreover, a mathematical model is formulated to investigate the thermophysical properties of heat and fluid flow in the atmosphere.
