In this book, the fundamentals of chemical engineering are presented aiming to applications in micro system technology, microfluidics, and transport processes within microstructures. After a general overview on both disciplines and common areas, recent projects are shortly presented. The combination of different disciplines gives new opportunities in microfluidic devices and process intensification, respectively.
Special features of the book are the state of the art in micro process engineering, a detailed treatment of transport phenomena for engineers, a design methodology from transport effects to economic considerations, a detailed treatment of chemical reaction in continuous flow microstructured reactors, an engineering methodology to treat complex processes.
The book addresses researchers and graduate students in the field of chemical engineering, Microsystems engineering, and chemistry.

Über den Autor / die Autorin
Norbert Kockmann is scientific researcher at the chair of microsystem construction of the Institute of Microsystem Technology (IMTEK) of Freiburg University, Germany, since 2001. He began his studies of aerospace engineering in 1985 at the Technical University of Munich. After completing his diploma, he joined the production technology department at Bremen University in 1991 to obtain his Ph.D. in technical thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer. In 1997, he joined the Messer Griesheim company as a trainee and went on to become project leader of a syngas plant for the production of carbon monoxide. His research interests include the construction and manufacture of components for microsystems as well as the fundamental processes in microsystems.
