Description
Over the last 20 years, micro/nanoscale flow and heat transfer have been a most active area of interdisciplinary research, involving scientists from various specialities including engineering, physics, chemistry and materials science. Presenting state-of-the-art knowledge in heat transfer and fluid flow in micro- and nanoscale structures, this book provides invaluable information for both graduate researchers and R&D engineers in industry and consultancy. All of the chapters are invited contributions from some of the most prominent scientists in the field and follow a unified outline and presentation to aid accessibility.
