Download or read book Convection with Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium and Microfluidic Effects written by Brian Straughan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is one of the first devoted to an account of theories of thermal convection which involve local thermal non-equilibrium effects, including a concentration on microfluidic effects. The text introduces convection with local thermal non-equilibrium effects in extraordinary detail, making it easy for readers newer to the subject area to understand. This book is unique in the fact that it addresses a large number of convection theories and provides many new results which are not available elsewhere. This book will be useful to researchers from engineering, fluid mechanics, and applied mathematics, particularly those interested in microfluidics and porous media.
