Guest Editorial for the Special Issue on Micro/Nanoscale Transport Phenomena

Abstract

Before the advent of the ubiquitous term “nanotechnology” in the scientific literature, study of microscale transport phenomena (e.g., boiling on microstructured surfaces) and nanoscale transport phenomena (e.g., combustion/surface catalysis, electrokinetic flows, slip flows, etc.) has been explored quite extensively in the thermal-fluids literature. Hence, the topics explored in this special issue can be misconstrued to be a mature area.
