Nanoscale Flow : Advances, Modeling, and Applications

This book presents the latest research in the multidisciplinary area of nanoscale flow. It contains contributions from top inventors in industry, academia, and government on topics including the boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux phenomena of nanofluids; modeling for heat transfer of nanofluids using a fractal approach; thermal conductivity enhancement in nanofluids measured with a hot-wire calorimeter; two-phase laminar mixed convection AL₂O₃—water nanofluid in an elliptic duct; molecular imaging, omics, and nanoscale flow-mediated medicine tumors strategies; and nanoscale flow applications in medicine.

Understanding the physical properties and dynamical behavior of nanochannel flows has been of great interest in recent years and is important for the theoretical study of fluid dynamics and engineering applications in physics, chemistry, medicine, and electronics. The flows inside nanoscale pores are also important due to their highly beneficial drag and heat transfer properties.
