The focus of MNF2014 will be the thermal and fluid aspects of micro and nano flows, encompassing both thermofluids engineering and biomedical fluid mechanics. The overall area has the characteristics of being rapidly developing, strongly inter-disciplinary and challenging for the individual researcher. The challenge is in applying the highest expertise, whether in analysis and modelling, in experimentation or in developing successful innovative devices for application areas. There are still many problems to be resolved, especially as scales reduce from micro to nano levels.

There is particular value in the nature of this meeting: it seeks to provide knowledge of the latest international achievements on the one hand, and a good opportunity for researchers to present and discuss their work on the other. A Special Session will also be organised on New Ultrafine Optical Measurement Methods, these being applicable to both conventional and biomedical engineering. In addition to the special session the following topics will be covered:

• · Both for Thermofluids and Biomedicine:

                                   i.        Micro and Nano Flow Fundamentals
                                  ii.        Measuring, Sensing and Control
                                 iii.        Mathematical, Numerical and Experimental Simulation

• · Microcirculation and Biomedical Flow Structures
• · Micro Flows in Prostheses and Medical Devices (including Lab-on-chip Devices)
• · Flow in Bioprocessing Equipment at Micro Levels
• · Single-Phase Heat Transfer in Micro Systems
• · Boiling and Condensation in Micro Systems
• · Heat Transfer Applications at Micro and Nano Scale Levels
