2015 AIChE Annual Meeting Proceedings

Session: Microfluidic and Microscale Flows I: Separations and Electrokinetics

This session of contributed talks will focus on microhydrodynamic phenomena in the low-Reynolds number regime. Topics will include studies of flow, particle manipulation, and heat and mass transfer in microfluidic devices.
