Download or read book Microscale Heat Transfer - Fundamentals and Applications written by S. Kakaç and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-05-02 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
