ABSTRACT
A comprehensive, two-volume handbook on Microfluidics and Nanofluidics, this text covers fundamental aspects, fabrication techniques, introductory materials on microbiology and chemistry, measurement techniques, and applications with special emphasis on the energy sector. Each chapter begins with introductory coverage to a subject and then narrows in on advanced techniques and concepts, thus making it valuable to students and practitioners. The author pays special attention to applications of microfluidics in the energy sector and provides insight into the world of opportunities nanotechnology has to offer. Figures, tables, and equations to illustrate concepts.
