This volume provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art assessment of the fundamentals of the Microscale heat transfer and transport phenomena and heat transfer and applications in Microsystems. The modern trend toward miniaturization of devices requires a better understanding of heat mass transfer phenomena in small dimensions. Devices having dimensions of order of microns are being developed for use of cooling of integrated circuits, and in biochemicals-biomedical applications and cryogenics. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have an important impact in medicine, bioengineering, information technologies and other industries.
Summary: An Excellent Resource for Micro-scale Convective Heat Transfer
Rating: 5
The papers in this text provided a wealth of references for my design project involving microscale convective heat transfer in liquids. The presentation of research and summaries of the overall work in this specialized field provided several new directions for further investigation and yielded several useful correlations in their own right.
This book is not a textbook, so if you are not aware of the basics of microscale fluid mechanics and heat transfer, you may want to read an introductory text prior to using this volume to come up to speed with current knowledge in the field. That said, I found several useful papers regarding phenomena I needed to account for in my microfludic device design.
