This book will help readers translate theory into real world applications, such as drug delivery and lab-on-a-chip. The content covers how transport at the nano-scale differs from the macro-scale, also discussing what complications can arise in a biologic system at the nano-scale.
It is ideal for students and early career researchers, engineers conducting experimental work on relevant applications, or those who develop computer models to investigate/design these systems. Content coverage includes biofluid mechanics, transport phenomena, micro/nano fluid flows, and heat transfer.
- Discusses nanoparticle applications in drug delivery
- Covers the engineering fundamentals of bio heat transfer and fluid flow
- Explains how to simulate, analyze, and evaluate the transportation of heat and mass problems in bio-systems
