"Convection with local thermal non-equilibrium and microfluidic effects focuses on the topic of local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) ... . A meticulous and clear exposition of the mathematical results makes the book readable and suitable for both beginners and thermal convection experts. ... The book will stimulate the interest of scientists involved in this fascinating field of research." (Roberta De Luca, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2016) "This book provides a comprehensive presentation of mathematical and physical theories of classical and modern areas of heat and fluid flow in porous media. The book is excellently written and readable. ... of great interest to a wide range of specialists working in the area of flows in porous media, such as graduate MSC and PhD students, design engineers, physicists, chemical engineers, and also to researchers interested in the mathematical theory of flows in porous media and connected topics."
