The study of moving liquids and gases inside small devices like chips

is the specific movement of fluid through very small channels in devices

Surface Forms

microcirculation singular
microcirculations plural

Morphology

microcirculation = circulation (transparent) = micro + circul + ation

The sense is built transparently from 'circulation' with the size-reducing prefix 'micro-' applied to small channels or devices.

Etymology

Microcirculation comes from micro- meaning 'small' and circulate meaning 'to move around', the same root you see in the everyday word circle. So in engineering and labs microcirculation is the 'small moving around' of fluids in tiny channels or chips, where precise flow is very important.
