Preface This book has been written with the objective of making the readers familiar with the exciting developments on gaseous slip flow and heat transfer in microchannel. A large amount of work is being currently undertaken worldwide in these areas, with numerous potential applications. The subject is therefore topical and also particularly significant as it leads to the question about the validity of the Navier- Stokes equations, which is usually considered sacrosanct. It obviously leads to a subsequentquestion:iftheNavier-Stokesequationsarethemselvesnotvalid,then how do we model the flow and heat transfer? Although the answer to this last question is still not clear, it is important for the fluids and thermal community to first appreciate the limitations of the continuum approach (which leads to the Navier-Stokes equations), to better appreciate the ongoing search for the “beyond Navier-Stokes equations,” and to test some of the available equations for their accuracy,beforethelargerobjectiveoffindingbeyondtheNavier-Stokesequations canbepracticallymet. Thebookisthereforeorganizedintwoparts:thefirstpartisonthegaseousslip flow and heat transfer in microchannel (Chaps. 2 and 3). In the second part, we examinebeyondtheNavier-Stokesequations(Chaps.5–7).Chapter1summarizes the characteristics of microscale flows and provides an introduction to the various modelling approaches available. Chapter 4 is a transition chapter between the two parts, where it is shown that simple extensions of the Navier-Stokes equations are notadequate.Recognizingthatonlyanalyticaltoolwillnotbeadequateforstudying flowsintheslipandtransitionregimes,abriefoverviewtorelevantnumericaland experimental techniques is provided in Chap. 8. Finally, Chap. 9 summarizes our currentunderstandingandprovidessuggestionsforfutureresearchinthissubject. The Knudsen number is the most important parameter, and several known solutionswithKnudsennumberasanadditionalparameterarecompiledinthefirst partofthebook.InterestingobservationsonKnudsenminimaandflowseparation are presented. However, it should become apparent that our understanding of heat transfer at the microscale is not that sound, as several additional effects such as axial conduction, pressure work, conduction in the substrate, viscous dissipation, etc. coexist, but it is virtually not possible to treat all these effects together and vii viii Preface obtainananalyticalsolutionforeventhesimplestproblems.Onlyfewexperimental and direct simulationMonte Carlo(DSMC) data exist,and they do notagree well withthatobtainedfromalternativeapproaches. A good portion of the second part of the book is devoted to deriving and understandingtheBurnettandGradequations.Thesetwosetsofequationsformthe most important “beyond the Navier-Stokes” equations and are generally referred to as “higher-order continuum transport equations.” The study of these equations is important for further development of the subject, as they involve several novel concepts and represent important breakthroughs in the subject. The derivation of these equations has not often been repeated, and it is expected that the stepwise derivationpresentedherewillinvokewidereadership.Specialefforthasbeenmade to make the text readable through the insertion of a large number of figures.
