The Navier-Stokes equations based solution is provided to various problems in the slip regime.  Several interesting characteristics of slip flows along with useful empirical correlations are documented in the first part of the book. The examples bring out the failure of the conventional equations to adequately describe various phenomena at the microscale. Thereby the readers are introduced to higher order continuum transport (Burnett and Grad) equations, which can potentially overcome these limitations.  A clear and easy to follow step by step derivation of the Burnett and Grad equations (superset of the Navier-Stokes equations) is provided in the second part of the book.  Analytical solution of these equations, the latest developments in the field, along with scope for future work in this area are also brought out. weiterlesen
