  • In micro-channels, the electro-viscous effect is caused by the electrical double layer on pressure-driven liquid flow. Velocity fields of flow inside micro-channels were measured using micro-PIV system for investigating the electro-viscous effect. De-ionized water and aqueous NaCl solutions with four different concentrations were used as working fluid in a PDMS micro-channel of $100{\mu}m$ width and $66{\mu}m$ height. The pressure gradient, dP/dx, was determined from the pre-determined input flow rate Q of syringe pump. The mean velocity $u_m$ used for calculating Reynolds number was obtained from the PIV velocity field data. These are used to plot the pressure gradient as a function of Reynolds numbers. The pressure gradient far lower concentration solution $(10^{-5}\;M)$ was higher than that for the higher concentration solution. The increase of flow resistance was about $30\%\;and\;37.5\%$ at Re=0.02 and 0.06, respectively.

  • To investigate the characteristics of water droplet on the gas diffusion layer from both upper-view and side-view of flow channel, a rig test apparatus was designed and fabricated with L-shape acryl plate in a $1mm{\times}1mm$ micro-channel. This experimental device is used to simulate the single droplet growth and its transport process under fuel cell operating condition. As a first step, we investigated the growth and transport of single water droplet with working temperature and air flow velocity. The contact angle and its hysteresis of water droplet at departing moment are measured and analyzed. It is expected that this study can provide the basic understanding of liquid water droplet behavior in gas flow channel and GDL interface during the PEM fuel cell operation.

  • 피셔-트롭쉬 합성반응은 CO와 H2의 혼합가스로 이루어진 합성가스를 부가가치가 높은 탄화수소 제품으로 변환시킨다. 본 논문에서는 저온 피셔-트롭쉬 합성반응과 단일, 다중 마이크로채널 반응기에 패킹시킨 촉매를 기반으로 강화된 반응조건의 열전달을 고려하여 전산유체역학 기반의 시뮬레이션을 진행하고 분석하였다. 단일채널모델을 통하여 CO 전환률이 ~65% 이상, $C_{5+}$ 선택도가 ~74% 이상을 달성하면서도 Co 기반의 super-active 촉매를 통해 GHSV를 $30000hr^{-1}$을 달성할 수 있음을 보였다. 다중 마이크로채널 반응기모델에서는 열전달 시뮬레이션을 동시에 해석하여, 3가지의 다른 반응기구조에 대해서, 직교류 wall boiling 냉매를 사용시 ${\Delta}T_{max}$가 23 K였으며 평행유동 subcooled 냉매와 평행유동 wall boiling 냉매의 경우 각각 15 K와 13 K의 ${\Delta}T_{max}$를 보였다. 반응기 전체적으로 498 - 521 K에서 온도제어가 가능했으며 계산된 사슬성장 가능성은 저온 피셔-트롭쉬 합성에 적합한 것으로 보인다.

  • 본 연구에서는 계면활성제를 첨가한 사각 PDMS(polydimethylsiloxane) 마이크로 채널에서의 모세관 흐름에 의한 충전 길이를 예측하기 위한 모델들을 제안하였다. 일반적으로 PDMS 의 소수성 특성 때문에 모세관 힘만을 이용한 PDMS 마이크로 채널에서의 물의 이동에는 어려움이 따르게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 계면활성제를 첨가하여 친수성을 가지는 PDMS 표면을 제작하고, 이 표면에서의 물의 접촉각 변화 측정 및 단순 모델을 수립하였다. 또한 친수성 PDMS 마이크로 채널에서의 모세관 힘에 따른 충전 길이를 예측하기 위해서 Washburn 방정식을 바탕으로 한 단순 모델을 수립하였다. 그 결과 유체의 충전 길이는 접촉각의 초기변화속도의 영향을 받는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 바탕으로 대표적인 세가지 경우에 대한 모델을 제안하였으며, 이들은 MIMIC(MIcroMolding In Capillaries)과 같은 마이크로 유체 기반의 생산공정의 설계와 개발에 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • An x-ray PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) technique was developed to measure quantitative information on flows inside opaque conduits and on opaque-fluid flows. At first, the developed x-ray PIV technique was applied to flow in an opaque Teflon tube. To acquire x-ray images suitable for PIV velocity field measurements, refraction-based edge enhancement mechanism was employed using detectable tracer particles. The optimal distance between with the sample and detector was experimentally determined. The resulting amassed velocity field data were in reasonable agreement with the theoretical prediction. The x-ray PIV technique was also applied to blood flow in a microchannel. The flow pattern of blood was visualifed by enhancing the diffraction/interference -bas ed characteristic s of blood cells on synchrotron x-rays without any contrast agent or tracer particles. That is, the flow-pattern image of blood was achieved by optimizing the sample (blood) to detector distance and the sample thickness. Quantitative velocity field information was obtained by applying PIV algorithm to the enhanced x-ray flow images. The measured velocity field data show a typical flow structure of flow in a macro-scale channel.

  • The orientation and deformation of polymer chains in a confined channel flow has been investigated. The polymer chain was modeled as a Finitely Extensible Nonlinear Elastic (FENE) dumbbell. The Brownian configuration field method was extended to take the interaction between the flow and local chain dynamics into account. Drag and Brownian forces were treated as anisotropic in order to reflect the influence of the wall in the confined flow. Both Poiseuille flow and 4 : 1 contraction flow were considered. Of particular interest was molecular tumbling of polymer chains near the wall. It was strongly influenced by anisotropic drag and high shear close to the wall. We discussed the mechanism of this particular behavior in terms of the governing forces. The dumbbell configuration was determined not only by the wall interaction but also by the flow type of the geometric origin. The effect of extensional flow on dumbbell configuration was also discussed by comparing with the Poiseuille flow.
