Two-dimensional Stokes flows through a micro channel with a couple of symmetric vertical fins are investigated. At far up- and down-stream from the fins, the plane Poiseuille flow exists in the channel. The slip boundary conditions are applied to take account of the Knudsen number effects. For the analysis, the method of eigen function expansion and collocation method are employed. By the results, the streamline patterns and pressure distributions are shown and the force exerted on the fin and the excess pressure drop due to the fins are determined as functions of the length of the fin and Knudsen number. It may be conjectured that the force and the excess pressure drop are almost independent of the Knudsen number.

본 연구에서는 깊이 0.2 mm, 폭 0.45 mm, 길이 60mm 그리고 채널의 개수는 15개인 마이크로 채널에서 이상 유동비등에 관한 실험을 수행하였다. 작동유체로는 FC-72가 사용되었으며, 실험은 질량유속과 열유속 각각 $200-400kg/m^2s$, $5-40kW/m^2$ 범위와 증기 건도 0.1-0.9 범위에서 수행되었다. 열전달 계수는 낮은 열유속에서는 급격하게 감소하였으며, 일정 열유속 이상에서는 거의 일정하게 유지되었다. 측정된 열전달 계수로부터 기존의 방법을 이용하여 기포류, 슬러그류, 천류 그리고 파형/환상류의 유동양식으로 분류하였다. 또한 분류한 유동양식의 결과를 파형/환상류 영역으로의 천이 기준과 비교하였다. 하지만 기존의 천이 기준으로는 본 연구의 실험결과를 만족스럽게 예측하지 못하였다.

수소화붕소나트륨은 수소 에너지를 저장 및 공급할 수 있는 안정된 금속 물질이다. 본 논문에서는 탈수소 화학반응기 유로 설계를 위해 수력학적 직경 $461{\mu}m$를 가지는 마이크로채널에서 수소화붕소나트륨 수용액의 탈수소 화학반응이 일어날 때 수용액과 수소 기체 간의 이상유동 계면마찰에 대하여 실험연구를 수행하였다. 화학반응기 마이크로채널은 직사각 단면으로 높이 $300{\mu}m$, 너비 1 mm, 길이 50 mm 로 실리콘 웨이퍼에 공정되었으며, 가수분해 촉진을 위해 루테늄을 촉매로서 100 nm 두께로 채널 표면에 증착하였다. 가시화 결과 Re 수 30 이하에서 기포유동 양상이 관측되었다. 이상마찰승수는 기포율에 선형적으로 비례하며, 탈수소 화학반응기를 설계할 때 계면마찰에 영향을 미치는 수용액의 초기농도, 촉매 화학반응률, 체류시간을 고려해야 된다.

Y-junction microchannels are widely used as a flew mixer. Fluids are entered from two branch channels and merged together at a combined channel. In this study, we suggest a simple method to create the fluid digitization using flow instability phenomena. Two immiscible liquids (water/oil) are infused continuously to each Y-junction inlets. Because of the differences in fluid and flow properties at the interface, oil droplet is formed automatically followed by flow instability. In order to clarify the hydrodynamic aspects involved in oil droplet formation, a quantitative flow visualization study has performed. Highly resolved velocity vector fields are obtained by a micro-PIV technique, so that detail flow structures around the droplet are illustrated. In this study, fluorescent particles were mixed with water only for visualization of oil droplet and velocity field measurement in water flow.

A kinetic theory analysis is made of low-speed gas flows in microchannels. The Boltzmann equation simplified by a collision model is solved by means of a finite difference approximation with the discrete ordinate method. The method does not suffer from statistical noise which is common in particle based methods and requires much less amount of computational effort. Calculations are made for flows in simple microchannels and a microfluidic system consisting of two microchannels in series. The method is assessed by comparing the results with those from several different methods and available experimental data.

Microfluidic chips such as lab-on-a-chip (LOC) include micro-channels for sample delivery, mixing, reaction, and separation. Pressure driven flow or electro-osmotic flow (EOF) has been usually employed to deliver bio-samples. Having some advantages of easy control, the flow characteristics of EOF in microchannels should be fully understood to effectively control the electro-osmotic pump for bio-sam-pie delivery. In this study, a micro PIV system with an epifluorescence inverted microscope and a cooled CCD was used to measure velocity fields of EOF in a glass microchannel and a PDMS microchannel. The EOF velocity fields were changed with respect to electric charge of seeding particles and microchannel materials used. The EOF has nearly uniform velocity distribution inside the microchannel when pressure gradient effect is negligible. The mean streamwise velocity is nearly proportional to the applied electric field. Glass microchannels give better repeatability in PIV results, compared with PDMS microchannels which are easy to fabricate and more suitable for PIV experiments.

Wettability is a critical parameter in micro-scale two-phase system. Several previous results indicate that wettability has influential affect on two-phase flow pattern in a microchannel. However, previous studies conducted using circular microtube, which was made by conventional fabrication techniques. Although most applications for micro thermal hydraulic system has used a rectangular microchannel, data for the rectangular microchannel is totally lack. In this study, a hydrophilic rectangular microchannel was fabricated using a photosensitive glass. And a hydrophobic rectangular microchannel was prepared using silanization of glass surfaces with OTS (octa-dethyl-trichloro-siliane). Experiments of two-phase flow in the hydrophilic and the hydrophobic rectangular microchannels were conducted using water and nitrogen gas. Visualization of twophase flow pattern was carried out using a high-speed camera and a long distance microscope. Visualization results show that the wettability was important for two-phase flow pattern in rectangular microchannel. In addition, two-phase frictional pressure drop was highly related with flow patterns. Finally, Two-phase frictional pressure drop was analyzed with flow patterns.

In this study, the Stokes flow in the microchannel is analysed where the semicircular protuberances with constant spacing are attached on the upper and lower walls with staggered arrangement. For the low Reynolds number flow in microchannel, Stokes approximation is used and the periodicity and symmetry of the flow are considered to determine the stream function and pressure distribution in the flow field by using the method of least squared error. As results, the streamline patterns and pressure distributions in the flow field are shown for some specific values of the size and spacing of the protuberances, and shear stress distributions on the surface of semicircular protuberances are plotted. Especially, for an important physical property, the average pressure gradient along the microchannel is obtained and compared with that for the case of in-phase arrangement of the upper and lower protuberances. And, for the small clearance between the protuberances of upper and lower walls or between the protuberances and the opposite wall, the average pressure gradient is derived from the lubrication theory and compared with that of the present study.
