Microfluidics is a young and rapidly expanding scientific
discipline, which deals with fluids and solutions in miniaturized
systems, the so-called lab-on-a-chip systems. It has applications
in chemical engineering, pharmaceutics, biotechnology and medicine.
As the lab-on-a-chip systems grow in complexity, a proper
theoretical understanding becomes increasingly important.
The basic idea of the book is to provide a self-contained
formulation of the theoretical framework of microfluidics, and at
the same time give physical motivation and example from
lab-on-a-chip technology. After three chapters introducing
microfluidics, the governing questions for mass, momentum and
energy, and some basic flow solutions, the following 14 chapters
treat hydraulic resistance/compliance, diffusion/dispersion,
time-dependent flow, capillarity, electro-and
magneto-hydydrodynamics, thermal transport, two-phase flow, complex
flow patterns and acousto-fluidics, as well as the new fields of
opto-and nano-fluidics. Throughout the book simple models with
analytical solutions are presented to provide the student with a
thorough physical understanding of order of magnitudes and various
selected micorfluidic phenomena and devices.
The book grew out of a set of well-tested lecture notes. It is
with its many pedagogical exercises designed as a textbook for an
advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate course. IT is also
well suited for self-study.
