Microscale and Nanoscale Heat Transfer: Fundamentals and Engineering Applications

Compiling the most relevant findings from the vast amount of literature available, along with the authors own research results, this text provides a useful treatise on the principal concepts and practical design engineering aspects of heat transfer. It describes all modes of heat transfer, including phase change and two-phase flow, and compares the methods and observations related to size-affected domains with conventional heat transfer analyses. Emphasizing engineering applications, the book covers micro heat exchangers and pipes as well as microchannel heat sinks. It also includes worked-out examples that illustrate how to apply the results of heat transfer analysis to practical design problems.
