The importance of microscale thermal energy transport has dramatically increased in the past several years and a number of significant investigations have been undertaken to better understand the fundamental phenomena that govern the behavior of energy transport at the microscale. While the original focus of this research was directed towards the thermal management of semiconductor devices and spacecraft thermal control, there has been an increased interest in the thermophysical phenomena occurring in biological systems, and bio-medical devices and applications. As a result a number of investigations have been reported, in which the thermal transport phenomena in microscale systems and passages are of significant importance. In this context, this following attempts to review the relevant literature on the theoretical and experimental investigations of microscale transport phenomena as specifically related to bioengineering and biomedical applications. Modeling methodologies, experimental studies, instrumentation techniques and research leading to the development of optimal bio-medical systems are reviewed and discussed.
