About this book

This book focuses on the modeling and analysis of heat and fluid flow in microchannels and micro-systems, compiling a number of analytical and hybrid numerical-analytical solutions for models that account for the relevant micro-scale effects, with the corresponding experimental analysis validation when applicable. The volume stands as the only available compilation of easy to use analytically-based solutions for micro-scale heat and fluid flow problems, that systematically incorporates the most relevant micro-scale effects into the mathematical models, followed by their physical interpretation on the micro-system behavior.

Chapter 1. Fundamentals and Methodologies
Abstract
A systematic research effort in micromechanics in the context of MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) devices, mainly on fabrication and operation, began in the late 1980s. However, the beginning of micro- and nanotechnologies is commonly and arguably attributed to the year of 1959, when the renowned theoretical physicist Richard Phillips Feynman gave the prophetic lecture entitled “There is plenty of room at the bottom,” during the American Physical Society meeting at Caltech (Feynman 1960).

Chapter 2. Heat and Fluid Flow in Single Microchannels
Abstract
This chapter illustrates the analytical and hybrid numerical–analytical treatment of fluid flow and heat transfer in single microchannels, under different conditions and configurations, starting with transient slip flow and steady, transient, and periodic convection, also in the slip flow regime, for simple parallel plates and circular capillary tube geometries.

Chapter 3. Heat and Fluid Flow in Microsystems
Abstract
Heat spreaders are under continuous development and improvement, in order to meet the ever growing heat dissipation requirements in modern microelectronics systems.
