Transport Phenomena: in Micro Process Engineering

"Transport Phenomena: in Micro Process Engineering" puts fundamentals of chemical engineering into context with micro system technology, microfluidics, and transport processes within microstructures. After a general overview about both disciplines and common areas, the text presents numerous recent projects as examples. The text also applies transport of momentum, heat and mass in microstructures to chemical reactors, and coupled transport phenomena and their potential are illustrated to the reader. The book concludes with an evaluation of the state of the art and an outlook upon the next steps to come in research.
