About this title

Synopsis

Microfluidics is an emerging technological area involving the handling of small fluid flows in channels and devices so small that a whole system, capable of performing complex tasks, can be held in the palm of a hand. Because this technology is starting to be applied in a variety of fields, it has gained significant attention. Engineers interested in working in the area of microfluidics need to have a solid understanding of how fluid flow in microchannels and devices is driven by pressure differences. knowledge. Offering comprehensive and up-to-date details on all aspects of the subject, Pressure Driven Microfluidics presents the basic laws of fluid flow, and goes on to describe sophisticated devices like fluidic amplifiers and oscillators. Additionally, this practical reference provides a survey of the wide range of microfluidics application areas, from microchemistry and biomedicine, to waste water treatment and anti-terrorist warfare.
