A hybrid surface tension seal for pneumatic and hydraulic microactuators

Pneumatic and hydraulic microactuators: a review

The development of MEMS actuators is rapidly evolving and continuously new progress in terms of efficiency, power and force output is reported. Pneumatic and hydraulic are an interesting class of microactuators that are easily overlooked. Despite the 20 years of research, and hundreds of publications on this topic, these actuators are only popular in microfluidic systems. In other MEMS applicat...

Xylem Sap Surface Tension May Be Crucial for Hydraulic Safety.

The surface tension (γ) of xylem sap plays a key role in stabilizing air-water interfaces at the pits between water- and gas-filled conduits to avoid air seeding at low water potentials. We studied seasonal changes in xylem sap γ in Picea abies and Pinus mugo growing at the alpine timberline. We analyzed their vulnerability to drought-induced embolism using solutions of different γ and estimate...

The influence of surface tension on the circular hydraulic jump

We present the results of a combined theoretical and experimental investigation of the influence of surface tension σ on the laminar circular hydraulic jump. An expression is deduced for the magnitude of the radial curvature force per unit length along a circular jump, Fc =−σ (s − R)/Rj , where Rj is the jump radius, and s and R are, respectively, the arclength along the jump surface and radial...
