Abstract
Materials, components, and methods consistent with the present invention are directed to the fabrication and use of micro-scale channels with a fluid, where the temperature and flow of the fluid is controlled through the geometry of the micro-scale channel and the configuration of at least a portion of the wall of the micro-scale channel and the constituent particles that make up the fluid. Moreover, the wall of the micro-scale channel and the constituent particles are configured such that collisions between the constituent particles and the wall are substantially specular.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising:
- a micro channel comprising a wall portion, an inflow opening, and an outflow opening;
- and
- a fluid comprising a constituent particle;
- where the micro channel is configured to accommodate a flow of the fluid from the inflow opening to the outflow opening in a first direction substantially perpendicular to a cross section of the micro channel;
- and
- where the wall portion and the constituent particle are configured such that collisions between the constituent particle and the wall portion are substantially specular.
