Review of Nanoscale and Microscale Phenomena in Materials Processing

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Modeling Multiphase Materials Processes

Abstract

Due to recent rapid developments in a variety of nanoscale and microscale devices [1, 2], information on the basic characteristics of multiphase transport phenomena in nanochannels and microchannels has become increasingly important. A characteristic feature of such systems is that a surface force or an interfacial force predominates over the body force. The wettability of solid walls of channels and surface tension of liquid, therefore, play an essential role in analyzing the transport phenomena.
