abstract

One of the most significant areas of research that has been conducted all over the world over the past 10 years has been the investigation of materials on the micro and nanoscales. The advancements that have been made in this field have resulted in the creation of a great deal of engineering gadgets and systems that are on the microscale and nanoscale. Three years ago, Kuo et al. Microflows are the term used to describe the flow of fluid through microchannels, which are typically involved in these devices and systems. Examples of applications include mechanisms for the distribution of drugs. Su and Lin (2004), Nakane et al. (2005), and other researchers have developed biological sensing and energy conversion systems. Since the functional properties of the system are dependent on the flow behaviour of the fluid inside the system, the study of microflows is drawing an increasing amount of attention from the research community.
