Customer Reviews The Book on MicroFlows, June 6, 2002 Reviewer: Prof. Jay M Khodadadi from Auburn, Alabama United States I was fortunate enough to be given a chance to read the manuscript of this book about a year before it was published. I was looking for a source of general information on fluid issues in MEMS in order to acquaint myself with the subject. Even though many research papers are out there, the new reader to the field needs to be given a solid starting point. Being a well-written research monograph, this is that solid starting point for those who have a grasp of traditional fluid mechanics and want to enhance that understanding for research into MEMS devices and flows encountered at micron scale and below. Now that the book is printed, I used it as the main source of reading for an Indep. Study course for a graduate student who started his PhD studies recently. The book also provides a wealth of references that will assist the reader to get a deeper understanding of the specific subject. Review of Microflows, February 11, 2002 Reviewer: Narayan from Urbana, IL USA This is an excellent book and I recommend this to any one interested in microfluidics, MEMS or nanotechnology. To my knowledge, this is the first book on microfluidics. The chapters on gas flows, electrokinetically driven liquid flows and on numerical methods for continuum and atomistic simulation are very interesting. |
