This lecture covers the principles of microfluidics, focusing on topics such as continuum flow, Knudsen flow, squeeze film damping, gas damping, Knudsen pumps, diffusion in liquids, liquid chromatography, and shear-driven liquid chromatography. It discusses the effects of pressure, viscosity, and geometry on fluid behavior in microscale systems, as well as the optimization of flow speed for efficient separation processes.
