A Reproducible and Low - cost Piezoelectric AR ; ZNES Droplet Generator
نویسنده
چکیده
This thesis presents the design for a piezoelectric droplet generator capable of producing highly repeatable droplets ranging from 0.60 mm to 1.60 mm in diameter. The generator is low cost, simple to fabricate, and easily reproducible for use in other fluids experiments. A series of experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of various operating parameters on the droplet generation process, and high speed imaging techniques were used to capture and analyze droplet diameter data.

A low‐cost, precise piezoelectric droplet‐on‐demand generator
repeatable experiments require a reliable and precise droplet generation technique. Repeatable droplet generation is also required for a number of diverse applications ranging from inkjet printing to liquid crystal display manufacturing (Fan et al. 2008). A variety of droplet-on-demand (DOD) generators are described in the literature, but most existing designs are complex, costly, and difficult...
متن کاملStretchable piezoelectric nanocomposite generator
Piezoelectric energy conversion that generate electric energy from ambient mechanical and vibrational movements is promising energy harvesting technology because it can use more accessible energy resources than other renewable natural energy. In particular, flexible and stretchable piezoelectric energy harvesters which can harvest the tiny biomechanical motions inside human body into electricit...
متن کاملSimultaneous Measurements of Droplet Size, Velocity and Temperature of “In-flight” Droplets in a Spray Flow by using a Molecular Tagging Technique
In the present study, a molecular tagging technique was developed to achieve simultaneous measurements of droplet size, flying velocity and temperature of “in-flight” droplets in a spray flow. Phosphorescent molecules, which can be turned into long-lasting glowing marks upon excitation by photons of appropriate wavelength, were premixed in the water droplets and served as the tracers for the qu...
متن کاملIhtc14-22515 Experimental Characterization of Single and Multiple Droplet Impingement on Surfaces Subject to Constant Heat Flux Conditions
Spray cooling is one of the most promising technologies in applications which require large heat removal capacity in very small areas. Previous experimental studies have suggested that one of the main mechanisms of heat removal in spray cooling is forced convection with strong mixing due to droplet impingement. These mechanisms have not been completely understood mainly due to the large number ...
متن کاملA Bimorph Multi-layer Piezoelectric Vibration Energy Harvester
This paper reports a bimorph piezoelectric vibration energy harvester incorporating multiple PZT layers. The advantage of a multi-layer generator is that it produces a higher power than a single-layer generator having the same total thickness. In addition, a lower voltage is required to polarize a multi-layer generator reducing the risk of breakdown during polarization. Moreover, the optimum re...
