This book provides an introduction to nanofluidics in a simple manner and can be easily
followed by senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and other researchers who …

Great effort has been applied to scientific research on the controllable synthesis of carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) with high semiconducting selectivity or high areal density toward the …

Negative thermophoresis is a phenomenon of particle transport induced by a temperature
gradient, by which small particles migrate from low to high temperatures. In gas media, it …

Analytical expressions are derived for aerodynamic drag force on small cylinders in the free
molecule flow using the gas-kinetic theory. The derivation considers the effect of …

In the present paper, we theoretically study the drag force on nanoparticles in the free-
molecule regime. It has been widely assumed that the particle temperature is equal to the …

We theoretically investigate the thermophoresis of nanocylinders in the free molecule
regime, wherein the nonrigid-body effect is taken into account. The analytical formulas of the …

We theoretically investigate the lift force on spherical nanoparticles in a shear flow of a dilute
gas, wherein the non-rigid-body collision between the particle and the gas molecules is …

The present paper is devoted to studying the thermophoresis of a nonspherical convex
particle suspended in a gas with nonuniform temperature distribution in the free-molecule …

Aerosol particles suspended in a diluted gas with non-uniform temperature distribution are
expected to experience a thermophoretic force. In theoretical treatment of thermophoresis, it …

In the present paper, analytical formulae for the shear lift forces on nanocylinders moving in
linear shear flows in the free molecule regime are derived on the basis of the gas kinetic …
