| Research Abstract |
A simultaneous measurement method of fluid velocity and scalar parameters such as temperature and concentration in small scale fluidic channels was developed to reveal heat and mass transfer, which is important to establish micro- and nanofluidics. Measurement of scalar parameters was achieved by creating multivariate nanotracers by modification of fluorescent molecules to nanoparticles, which are used as tracers in the velocity measurements. The method was successfully demonstrated by simultaneous measurement of velocity and pH in a microchannel. This method can be applied to quantitative evaluation of heat and mass transfer in nanoscale.
