ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This work would not have been possible without the constant support and guidance of my mentor, Dr. Prashanta Dutta. I thank him profusely for providing me with the best environment to work. I am grateful to him for giving me the freedom to explore and the excellent opportunities to learn and grow as a researcher. I would like to thank Dr. Cecilia D. Richards and Dr. Konstantin Matveev for giving their kind consent to be on the committee. I am grateful to them for accommodating my requests and deadlines. I would like to thank all the members of the Micro Scale Thermo Fluidic Lab at Washington State University. Thanks to Mohammad Robiul Hossain,
Talukder Zaki Jubery and WalidRezanoor Mohammad – it was an enriching and learning experience working with you. I would like to specially thank the faculty and staff of the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering for all their support and efforts to make my academic life a pleasant and memorable one. Thanks to all my friends for supporting me all through these years. Last but not the least; I would like to thank my father Mani, my mother Vasanthy and my sister Sruthi Raj Kumari for all of their emotional and financial support and for helping me to achieve my goals.
