Professor Conlisk's New Textbook Analyzes Fluid Flow in Micro and Nano-size Devices

Posted: 

Professor A. Terrence Conlisk has authored a new interdisciplinary textbook titled "Essentials of Micro- and Nanofluidics with Applications to the Biological and Chemical Sciences."  The book, which was published by Cambridge University Press, is being used in a Spring Semester ME6515/BME5663 course titled, "Introduction to Micro and Nanofluidics." 

The textbook, which includes 170 exercises, examines the thermal sciences with relation to electrostatics and electrokinetics and colloid science; electrochemistry; and molecular biology. Among other concepts, the book covers topics such as the essentials of viscous flows, an introduction to electrochemistry, heat and mass transfer phenomena, and elements of molecularand cell biology. The design of devices used for rapid molecular analysis, biochemical sensing, drug delivery, DNA analysis, the design of an artificial kidney, and other transport phenomena are also explored. 

To learn more about the textbook, view the Campbridge University Press information sheet for the "Essentials of Micro- and Nanofluidics with Applications to the Biological and Chemical Sciences" textbook.
