This book is written primarily for upperlevel undergraduates and graduate students in engineering and professionals in industry. The book offers an accessible broad-based coverage of the basics through advanced applications of microfluidics and nanofluidics.  After a review of key aspects in classical fluid mechanics and heat transfer (Chapter I), the reader is introduced to microfluidics (Chapters II and III) and nanofluidics (Chapters IV and V), with a discussion of math modeling and computer simulation (Chapter VI) rounding out the book. The main goal is to teach a solid knowledge base of the fundamentals and to acquire modern application skills. Furthermore, this six?]chapter exposure should provide students with a sufficient background for advanced studies in these fascinating and very future?]oriented engineering topics, as well as for expanded job opportunities. The author offers a consistent 50/50 physics?]mathematics approach when introducing new material, illustrating concepts, showing flow visualizations, and solving problems. The problem solution format follows strictly: System Sketch, Assumptions, and Concept/Approach –before starting the solution phase which consists of symbolic math model development, numerical solution, graphs, and comments on physical insight.  A solutions manual is planned to accompay the book.

Fluidics originated as the description of pneumatic and hydraulic control systems, where fluids were employed (instead of electric currents) for signal transfer and processing. Microfluidics and Nanofluidics: Theory and Selected Applications offers an accessible, broad-based coverage of the basics through advanced applications of microfluidics and nanofluidics. It is essential reading for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in engineering and professionals in industry.
