They compared mass flow rates computed using a commercial CFD program with experimental values in both straight dchannels and channels with curved or squared (90\°) bends. They found the computed values to be less than the experimental values with the error being smaller than 5\%. This is a moderate error, probably due to the numerical approximations and the experimental uncertainties.... \~{} also examined flow fields in a micromanifold, and found qualitative agreement between the computed flow field and the experimental flow field. This further supports the validity of the continuum assumption for channels with characteristic length scales larger than 10\ \µm'.}, doi = {10.2495/MIC950191}, editor = {Adey, R.
