Temperature Dependence of Inertial Pumping in Microchannels
Pavel E. Kornilovitch, Tyler Cochell, Alexander N. Govyadinov
Inertial pumping is a promising new method of moving fluids through microchannels but many of its properties remain unexplored. In this work, inertial flow rates are investigated f…
Microfluidic switchboards with integrated inertial pumps
Brandon S. Hayes, Alexander N. Govyadinov, Pavel E. Kornilovitch
Arrays of H-shape microfluidic channels connecting two different fluidic reservoirs have been built with silicon/SU8 microfabrication technologies utilized in production of thermal…
Path to Low Cost Microfluidics
Alexander N. Govyadinov, Erik Torniainen, Pavel Kornilovitch +1
The paper describes a novel concept for a low cost microfluidic platform utilizing materials and processes used in low cost thermal inkjet printing. The concept re-purposes the jet…
Bubble-Driven Inertial Micropump
Erik D. Torniainen, Alexander N. Govyadinov, David P. Markel +1
The fundamental action of the bubble-driven inertial micropump is investigated. The pump has no moving parts and consists of a thermal resistor placed asymmetrically within a strai…
