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.

Claim (Index 8):
The apparatus of  claim 4  where the variation in the cross section as a function of a length in the first direction between the inflow opening and the outflow opening is substantially abrupt in a region proximal to the inflow opening, is substantially constant between the region proximal to the inflow opening and the outflow opening, and where the cross section between the region proximal to the inflow opening and the outflow opening is greater than the cross section in the region proximal to the inflow opening.
