초록

본 연구에서는, 미소유체시스템 상에서 정밀한 유체 제어를 위해 입력압력이 변하여도 일정한 유량을 유지할 수 있는 수동형 유량제어기를 개발함에 있어, 주기적으로 변화하는 압력에 대한 유량제어기의 동적특성을 평가하였다. 압력 변화의 주기보다 짧은 시간 내에 유량을 측정하기 위하여 입자영상속도계(Particle Image Velocimetry, PIV) 방법을 이용하였다. 지름이 $0.7{\mu}m$ 인 형광입자가 담긴 탈이온수를 유량제어기에 공급하고, 펄스레이저와 형광현미경을 이용하여 $10{\mu}s$ 간격의 연속된 사진을 얻고 이를 분석하여 유량제어기를 통과한 후의 유체의 속도를 측정하였다. 개발된 유량제어기는 20kPa 과 50kPa 사이를 주기적으로 변화하는 60Hz 의 압력 하에서 0.194${\pm}$0.014m/s의 일정한 유속을 유지함을 실험적으로 확인하였다. 압력의 주파수를 1~60Hz 까지 변화시켜가며 수행한 실험에서도 유량제어기는 압력의 주파수에 상관없이 $5.82{\pm}0.29\;{\mu}l/s$ 의 일정한 유량 공급이 가능함을 확인하였다.

We performed a dynamic characterization of passive flow-rate regulators, which compensate for inlet pressure variation and maintain a constant flow rate for precise liquid control in microfluidic systems. To measure the flow rate for a short time, much less than the period of the dynamic inlet pressure, we use the particle image velocimetry (PIV) method. DI water containing fluorescent beads with a $0.7-{\mu}m$ diameter was supplied to the flow-rate regulators, and two successive images of the particles were taken by a pulse laser and a fluorescent microscope to measure the flow velocity. For a dynamic inlet pressure of frequency 60 Hz, the flow velocity was constant with an average of 0.194 ${\pm}$ 0.014 m/s as the inlet pressure varied between 20 kPa to 50 kPa. The flow-rate regulators provided a constant flow rate of $5.82{\pm}0.29\;{\mu}l/s$ in the frequency range of the inlet pressure from 1 Hz to 60 Hz.
