More About This Textbook

Overview

Discusses different modelling techniques in microfluidics (FEM and CFD). Every reader will have an easy start to model any kind of microfluidic device. Presents the necessary fabrication technologies and examples of the latest microfluidic devices and systems. Microfluidics is a very new research area in microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS). This book introduces the theory and practice of microfluidic technology. The content is designed to be of value to engineers with different backgrounds working in the area of microsystem technology. The book includes the necessary fabrication technologies and examples of the latest microfluidic devices and systems that have been realised by a worldwide community of researchers. It covers all aspects of microfluidic theory and describes the breath-taking developments in this field.
