Paper Abstract
A heat transfer model on a microfluidic is resolved analytically. The model describes a fluid at rest between two parallel
plates where each plate is maintained at a differentially specified temperature and the thermal conductivity of the
microfluidic is spatially modulated. The heat transfer model in such micro-hydrostatic configuration is analytically
resolved using the technique of the Laplace transform applying the Bromwich Integral and the Residue theorem. The
temperature outline in the microfluidic is presented as an infinite series of Bessel functions. It is shown that the result for
the thermal conductivity spatially modulated has as a particular case the solution when the thermal conductivity is
spatially constant. All computations were performed using the computer algebra software Maple. It is claimed that the
analytical obtained results are important for the design of nanoscale devices with applications in biotechnology.
Furthermore, it is suggested some future research lines such as the study of the heat transfer model in a microfluidic
resting between coaxial cylinders with radially modulated thermal conductivity in order to achieve future developments
in this area.
