摘要:

研究了气泡驱动惯性微泵的基本作用。该泵没有移动部件,由一个热敏电阻器组成,该热敏电阻器不对称地放置在连接两个储液器的直通道内。使用数值模拟,净流量作为通道的几何形状,电阻器的位置,汽泡强度,流体粘度和表面张力的函数进行了研究。两个主要制度的行为确定:轴向和非轴向。在轴向状态下,驱动气泡或者保持在通道内,或者当其到达储器时继续轴向生长。在非轴向状态下,气泡从通道中生长出来,并且在储液器内部时在所有三个维度上生长。轴向状态下的净流量相对于通道横截面的水力直径是抛物线形的,但在非轴向状态下则不是。从数值模拟,它是确定的净流量是最大时,轴向政权跨越到非轴向政权。为了阐明泵的基本物理原理,发展和求解了唯象的一维模型。利用硅SU8微泵的制作技术,制作了一个微泵线性阵列,并在实验上证明了在2 mm宽的通道上的半连续泵浦。测量的净流量随流体粘度的变化与模拟结果非常一致。

英文摘要:

The fundamental action of the bubble-driven inertial micropump is investigated. The pump has no moving parts and consists of a thermal resistor placed asymmetrically within a straight channel connecting two reservoirs. Using numerical simulations, the net flow is studied as a function of channel geometry, resistor location, vapor bubble strength, fluid viscosity, and surface tension. Two major regimes of behavior are identified: axial and non-axial. In the axial regime, the drive bubble either remains inside the channel or continues to grow axially when it reaches the reservoir. In the non-axial regime the bubble grows out of the channel and in all three dimensions while inside the reservoir. The net flow in the axial regime is parabolic with respect to the hydraulic diameter of the channel cross-section but in the non-axial regime it is not. From numerical modeling, it is determined that the net flow is maximal when the axial regime crosses over to the non-axial regime. To elucidate the basic physical principles of the pump, a phenomenological one-dimensional model is developed and solved. A linear array of micropumps has been built using silicon-SU8 fabrication technology, and semi-continuous pumping across a 2 mm-wide channel has been demonstrated experimentally. Measured variation of the net flow with fluid viscosity is in excellent agreement with simulation results.
