Microscale and Nanoscale Heat Transfer: Fundamentals and Engineering Applications - Paperback

by C. B. Sobhan (Author), G. P. Peterson (Author)

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.
