Introduction to microflows -- Gaseous microflows -- Liquid microflows



: particularities and modeling -- Physiological microflows -- Single-phase heat transfer -- Two-phase microflows -- Experimental methods -- Fluidic microsystems -- Microsystems in macroflows active control.

Sommario/riassunto

The goal of this book is to provide engineers and researchers the tools necessary for modelling, experimenting, and simulating these microflows as a preliminary step for designing and optimizing fluidic microsystems. The various consequences of miniaturization on the hydrodynamics of gas, liquid or two-phase flows, as well as associated heat transfer are analysed. The book is illustrated with examples showing the diversity and the originality of fluidic microsystems.

Sommario/riassunto

How can you foster spiritual growth in older people?</br></br>This multidisciplinary work re-examines issues of aging with dignity and spiritual meaning. Aging, Spirituality, and Pastoral Care: A Multi-National Perspective brings together chaplains, pastors, counselors, and health care practitioners in all walks of gerontology from around the world to present a fully rounded picture of the spiritual needs and potentialities of this fast-growing population. It also includes a study of the spiritual awareness of nurses working in six different nursing homes, as well as a model for a parish nursi
