As our knowledge of MEMS continues to grow, so does The MEMS
Handbook. The field has changed so much that this Second Edition is
now available in three volumes. Individually, each volume provides
focused, authoritative treatment of specific areas of interest.
Together, they comprise the most comprehensive collection of MEMS
knowledge available, packaged in an attractive slipcase and offered
at a substantial savings. This best-selling handbook is now more
convenient than ever, and its coverage is unparalleled. The first
of three volumes, MEMS: Introduction and Fundamentals covers the
theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of the field, emphasizing
the physical phenomena that dominate at the micro-scale. It also
explores the mechanical properties of MEMS materials, modeling and
simulation of MEMS, control theory, and bubble/drop transport in
microchannels. Chapters were updated where necessary, and the book
also includes two new chapters on microscale hydrodynamics and
lattice Boltzmann simulations. This volume builds a strong
foundation for further study and work in the MEMS field. MEMS:
Introduction and Fundamentals comprises contributions from the
foremost experts in their respective specialties from around the
world. Acclaimed author and expert Mohamed Gad-el-Hak has again
raised the bar to set a new standard for excellence and authority
in the fledgling fields of MEMS and nanotechnology.

Dynamical systems theory and flow control are two research areas of
great current interest. These and other special situations are
among the topics covered in this volume. Each article emphasizes
the use of experiments to achieve better physical understanding of
a particular class of flow problems. The topics covered were chosen
because of their importance to the field, recent appeal, and
potential for future development. The articles are comprehensive
and coverage is pedagogical with a bias towards recent
developments.
One cannot overemphasize the importance of studying fluids in
motion or at rest for a variety of scientific and engineering
endeavors. Fluid mechanics as an art reaches back into antiquity,
but its rational formulation is a relatively recent undertaking.
Much of the physics of a particular flow situation can be
understood by conducting appropriate experiments. Flow
visualization techniques offer a useful tool to establish an
overall picture of a flow field and to delineate broadly its
salient features before embarking on more detailed quantitative
measurements. Among the single-point measurements that are
particularly difficult are those in separated flows, non-Newtonian
fluids, rotating flows, and nuclear aerosols. Pressure, shear
stress, vorticity, and heat transfer coefficient are also difficult
quantities to measure, particularly for time-dependent flows. These
and other special situations are among the topics covered in this
volume. Each article emphasizes the development of a particular
measuring technique. The topics covered were chosen because of
their importance to the field, recent appeal, and potential for
future development. The articles are comprehensive and coverage is

Thoroughly revised and updated, the new edition of the best-selling
MEMS Handbook is now presented as a three-volume set that offers
state-of-the-art coverage of microelectromechanical systems.
Through chapters contributed by top experts and pioneers in the
field, MEMS: Design and Fabrication presents a comprehensive look
at the materials, procedures, tools, and techniques of MEMS
fabrication. New chapters in this edition examine the materials and
fabrication of polymer microsystems and optical diagnostics for
investigating the entrance length in microchannels. Rigorous yet
accessible, this volume provides the practical knowledge needed for
work in cutting-edge MEMS applications.
The ability to actively or passively manipulate a flow field to
bring about a desired change is of immense technological
importance. The potential benefits of improving flow control
systems range from saving billions of dollars in fuel costs for
land, air and sea vehicles to achieving more economically
competitive and environmentally sound industrial processes
involving fluid flows. This book provides a thorough treatment of
the basics of flow control and control practices that can be used
to produce desired effects. Among topics covered are transition
delay, separation prevention, drag reduction, lift augmentation,
turbulence suppression, noise abatement, and heat and mass transfer
enhancement. The final chapter explores the frontiers of flow
control strategies, especially as applied to turbulent flows.
Intended for engineering and physics students, researchers and
practitioners, Flow Control brings together in a single source a
wealth of information on practices and developments in this very
active field.
