▪ Abstract The micromachining technology that emerged in the late 1980s can provide
micron-sized sensors and actuators. These micro transducers are able to be integrated with …

Accurate modeling of gas microflow is crucial for the microfluidic devices in MEMS. Gas
microflows through these devices are often in the slip and transition flow regimes …

Abstract Effects of second order slip on plane Poiseuille nanofluid under the influence of
Stefan blowing in a channel are discovered in this study. The starring role of heat transfer …

Transition between nucleate and film boiling potentially causes dramatic temperature
changes during fluxcontrolled operations, which may lead to catastrophic equipment …

Rarefied gas flows in channels, pipes, and ducts with smooth surfaces are studied in a wide
range of Knudsen number (Kn) at low Mach number (M) with the objective of developing …

Manufacturing processes that can create extremely small machines have been developed in
recent years. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) refer to devices that have …

Designing small structures necessitates an a priori understanding of various device
behaviors. The way to gain such understanding is to construct, analyze, and interpret the …

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has experienced tremendous advances and has been
well accepted as a useful method to simulate various fluid behaviors. For computational …

Atmospheric environment vitally affects concrete durability. In concrete durability design, gas
transport property has been recently observed extensive employment. During the gas …
