Design guidelines for thermally driven micropumps of different architectures based on target applications via kinetic modeling and simulations
(2019)The manufacturing process and architecture of three Knudsen type micropumps are discussed and the associated flow performance characteristics are investigated. The proposed fabrication process, based on the deposition of ... -
Dynamic simulations of an encapsulated microbubble translating in a tube at low capillary and Reynolds numbers
(2021)The dynamic translation of a micron-sized encapsulated bubble is investigated numerically inside a horizontal tube where liquid flows under constant pressure drop, when the effect of gravity is neglected. The coating of ... -
A novel experimental setup for gas microflows
(2010)A new experimental setup for flow rate measurement of gases through microsystems is presented. Its principle is based on two complementary techniques, called droplet tracking method and constant-volume method. Experimental ... -
Numerical study of magnetic particles mixing in waste water under an external magnetic field
(2020)The combination of nanotechnology and microfluidics may offer an effective water and wastewater treatment. A novel approach combines the use of magnetic particles which can capture heavy metal impurities in microfluidic ... -
Thermally driven pumps and diodes in multistage assemblies consisting of microchannels with converging, diverging and uniform rectangular cross sections
(2020)Thermal transpiration pumping in multistage assemblies is computationally investigated. Each stage is formed by combining in series-long microchannels with (a) uniform–uniform (“uni–uni”), (b) converging–uniform (“con–uni”), ... -
Water Purification in Micromagnetofluidic Devices: Mixing in MHD Micromixers
(2016)This contribution addresses a possible solution for water purification from heavy metals by magnetic nanoparticles in microfluidic water flow systems. In this technique, the most important component is the micromixer while ...
