Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction to microflows -- Gaseous microflows -- Liquid microflows : particularities and modeling -- Physiological microflows -- Single-phase heat transfer -- Two-phase microflows -- Experimental methods -- Fluidic microsystems -- Microsystems in macroflows active control.
"The goal of this book is to provide engineers and researchers the tools necessary for modelling, experimenting, and simulating these microflows as a preliminary step for designing and optimizing fluidic microsystems. The various consequences of miniaturization on the hydrodynamics of gas, liquid or two-phase flows, as well as associated heat transfer are analysed. The book is illustrated with examples showing the diversity and the originality of fluidic microsystems."--Publisher description.
