Electrokinetic Velocity Characterization of Microparticles in Glass Microchannels
Insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) is an efficient technique with great potential for miniaturization. It has been applied successfully for the manipulation and concentration of a wide array of particles, including bioparticles such as macromolecules and microorganisms. When iDEP is applied employing DC electric fields, other electrokinetic transport mechanisms are present: electrophoresi...
متن کاملTime-periodic Electroosmotic Flow of Non-newtonian Fluids in Microchannels
The alternating current electroosmotic flow of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid is studied in a circular microchannel. A numerical method is employed to solve the non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann and the momentum equations. The main parameters which affect the flow field are the flow behavior index, the dimensionless zeta potential and the dimensionless frequency. At very low dimensionless frequenci...
متن کاملAc Electro-osmotic Micromixer Using a Face-to-face, Asymmetric Pair of Planar Electrodes
T This paper reports the mixing performance of an AC electroosmotic micromixer based on the three-dimensional extensional flow generated by a face-to-face, asymmetric pair of planar electrodes. This work represents the first successful use of such an asymmetric electrode pair in an AC electroosmotic micromixer. Due to the highly 3dimentional flow pattern generated by the face-to-face electrode ...
متن کاملTwo-fluid Electrokinetic Flow in a Circular Microchannel (RESEARCH NOTE)
The two-fluid flow is produced by the combined effects of electroosmotic force in a conducting liquid and pressure gradient force in a non-conducting liquid. The Poisson-Boltzmann and Navier-Stokes equations are solved analytically; and the effects of governing parameters are examined. Poiseuille number increases with increasing the parameters involved. In the absence of pressure gradient, the ...
