This book covers concepts and the latest developments on microscale flow and heat transfer
phenomena involving a gas. The book is organised in two parts: the first part focuses on the …

Microscale fluid dynamics has received intensive interest due to the emergence of micro-
electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology. When the mean free path of the gas is …

Numerical simulations of laminar pipe and channel flows were carried out:(i) to understand
the effect of inlet conditions, viz., flat inlet and streamtube inlet, on entry lengths, and (ii) to …

The entrance region constitutes a considerable fraction of the channel length in miniaturized
devices. Laminar slip flow in microchannel plate fin heat sinks under hydrodynamically …

This paper presents an experimental study of isothermal rarefied gas flow through a tube
with sudden expansion in the slip flow regime. The measurements reported here are for …

Laminar forced convection in two-dimensional rectangular micro and nano-channels under
hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed conditions is investigated analytically in the …

A comprehensive, two-volume handbook on microfluidics and nanofluidics, this text covers
fundamental aspects, fabrication techniques, introductory materials on microbiology and …

Steady laminar forced convection gaseous slip-flow through parallel-plates micro-channel
filled with porous medium under Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium (LTNE) condition is studied …

Forced convection in ducts and channels is a fundamental problem of great importance in
the design of heat exchangers, heat sinks, and other energy systems. Applications of …

This paper outlines a numerical model for determining the dynamic and thermal
performances of a rarefied fluid flowing in a microduct with elliptical cross-section. A slip flow …
