Transversely Oscillating MEMS Viscometer: The “Spider”1
The analysis of a new viscometer that takes the form of an oscillating plate, fabricated from silicon using the methods of micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) is considered. The instrument is designed principally for experimental use in the oil industry. The plate is 1.6mm wide, 2.4mm long, and 20μm thick. It is suspended from a 0.4mm thick support by 48 square cross-section legs, each of l...
متن کاملA fractional differential equation for a MEMS viscometer used in the oil industry
A mathematical model is developed for a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) instrument that has been designed primarily to measure the viscosity of fluids that are encountered during oil well exploration. It is shown that, in one mode of operation, the displacement of the device satisfies a fractional differential equation (FDE). The theory of FDEs is used to solve the governing equation in ...
متن کاملA New Viscometer
A viscometer is described, particularly adapted to the measurement of colloidal solutions and physiological liquids (serum, blood), which, although doing away with the capillary tube (which is difficult to handle and to clean), requires less than 1 cc. of liquid. The readings are rapid, from 30 seconds to 1 minute. The temperature is easily controlled and varied. The range is considerable and m...
متن کاملA Poiseuille Viscometer for Lattice Gas Automata
A b stra ct . Lattice gas automata have been recently proposed as a new technique for the numerical integration of the two-dimensional Nav ier-Stokes equation. We have accurately tes ted a stra ightforward var iant of the original model, due to Fr isch, Hasslacher, and Pomeau, in a simp le geometry equivalent to two-dimensional Poiseuille (Cha nnel) flow dr iven by a uniform body force. The mom...
متن کاملMicro-Viscometer for Measuring Shear-Varying Blood Viscosity over a Wide-Ranging Shear Rate
In this study, a micro-viscometer is developed for measuring shear-varying blood viscosity over a wide-ranging shear rate. The micro-viscometer consists of 10 microfluidic channel arrays, each of which has a different micro-channel width. The proposed design enables the retrieval of 10 different shear rates from a single flow rate, thereby enabling the measurement of shear-varying blood viscosi...
