In this work, an array of resistance temperature detector(RTD) was fabricated inside the microchannel in order to investigate in-situ flow characteristics. A rectangular straight microchannel, integrated with RTD's for temperature sensing and a heat source for generating the temperature gradient along the channel. were fabricated with the dimension of $200{\mu}m(W){\times}{\mu}m(D){\times}$48mm(L), while RTD measured precise temperatures at the inside-channel wall. 4" $525{\pm}25{\mu}m$ thick P-type <100> Si wafer was used as a substrate. For the fabrication of RTDs. 5300$\AA$ thick Pt/Ti layer was sputtered on a Pyrex glass wafer. Finally, glass wafer was bonded with Si wafer by anodic bonding, therefore RTD was located inside the microchannel. The temperature distribution inside the fabricated microchannel was obtained from 4 point probe measurements and Dl water is used as a working fluid. Temperature distribution inside the microchannel was measured as a function of mass flow rate and heat flux. As a result, precise temperatures inside the microchannel could be obtained. In conclusion, this novel temperature distribution measurement system will be very useful to the accurate analysis of the flow characteristics in the microchannel.

단면이 직사각형 형태를 갖는 마이크로채널에서 이론적인 퍼텐셜의 분포변화를 제타퍼텐셜과 수력학적 지름을 변수로 조사하였다. 그리고 종/횡(Height-Width) 비를 1, 1/2, 1/3로 변화시켜서 형태의 변화에 따른 퍼텐셜의 분포변화를 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 Comsol 사의 FEMLAB 3.0을 이용하여 전산 무사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 단면의 수력학적 지름이 감소함에 따라서 높이방향 표면이 퍼텐셜 분포에 미치는 영향이 일정한 영역까지 나타났다. 또한 단면의 중앙을 지나는 가상의 선상에서 퍼텐셜 값은 제타퍼텐셜에 정비례하여 증가하였으며, 퍼텐셜 값은 단면의 종/횡 비가 증가함에 따라서 그 기울기가 증가하였다. 그렇지만 전체적으로 보았을 때, 단면의 종/횡 비가 감소함에 따라서 전기이중층이 표면방향으로 압축되는 형태를 나타내었으며, 이는 제타퍼텐셜의 증가를 가져올 것으로 사료된다.

Experimental study was conducted to characterize shear-induced lateral migration of $1.0-{\mu}m-diameter$ Brownian particles flowing through a rectangular microchannel which can be used to deliver small amount of liquids, drugs, biological agents and particles in microfluidic devices. Measurements were obtained by using a mercury lamp with a light of 532-nm wavelength, an inverted epi-fluorescence microscope, and a cooled CCD camera to record particle images. Peclet number was used as a parameter to assess the lateral distribution of the particles at a fixed volume fraction of $0.1\%$. It was shown that as Pe increased, particles were moved toward the centerline of the channel, which is in good agreement with previous studies.

A rectangular straight microchannel, integrated with the resistance temperature detectors(RTDs) for temperature sensing and a micro-heater for generating the Temperature gradient along the channel, was fabricated. Its dimension is 57${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$(H)$\times$200${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$(W)$\times$48,050${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$(L), and RTDs were placed at the inner-channel wall. Si wafer was used as a substrate. For the fabrication of RTDs, 5300$\AA$ thick Pt/Ti layer was sputtered on a Pyrex glass wafer. Finally, the glass wafer was bonded with Si wafer by anodic bonding, so that the RTDs are located inside the microchannel. Temperature coefficient of resistance(TCR) values of the fabricated Pt-RTDs were 2800~2950ppm$^{\circ}C$ and the variation of TCR value In the range of O~10$0^{\circ}C$ was less than 0.3％. Therefore, it was proved that the fabricated Pt-RTDs without annealing were excellent as temperature sensors. The temperature distribution in the microchannel was investigated as a function of mass flow rate and heating power. The temperature increase rate diminished with decreasing the applied power and increasing the mass flow rate. It was confirmed from the comparison with the simulation results that the temperature measured inside the microchannel is more accurate than measuring the temperature measured at the outer wall. The proposed temperature sensing method and microchannel are expected to be useful in microfluidics researches.

The present study investigated two-phase flow distribution, phase separation and pressure drop in multi-microchannel tubes under adiabatic condition. The test section consisted of inlet and outlet headers with the inner diameter of 19.4㎜ and 15 parallel microchannel tubes. Each microchannel tube brazed to the inlet and outlet headers and had 8 rectangular ports with the hydraulic diameter of 1.32㎜. The key experimental parameters were orientation of header (horizontal and vertical), flow direction of refrigerant into the inlet header (in-line, parallel and cross flow) and inlet quality (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3). It was found that the orientation of the header had relatively large effect on the flow distribution and phase separation, while the inlet quality didn't affect much on them. The horizontal header showed the better flow distribution and phase separation characteristics than the vertical one. The parallel flow condition with the horizontal header showed the best performance for the flow distribution and phase separation characteristics under the test conditions. Two-phase pressure drops through the microchannel tubes with the horizontal header were higher than those of the microchennel tubes with the vertical header due to gravitational effect.

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.

Surface roughness is present in most of the microfluidic devices due to the microfabrication techniques. This paper presents lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) results for laminar flow in a microchannel with surface roughness. The surface roughness is modeled by an array of rectangular modules placed on top and bottom side of a parallel-plate channel. In this study, LBGK D2Q9 code in lattice Boltzmann Method is used to simulate flow field for low Reynolds number in a micro-channel. The effects of relative surface roughness, roughness distribution, roughness size and the results are presented in the form of the product of friction factor and Reynolds number. Finally, a significant increase in Poiseuille number is detected as the surface roughness is considered, while the effect of roughness on the microflow field depends on the surface roughness.

Because the liquid-vapor interfacial shear stress affects seriously the liquid flow and the maximum heat transport rate of the grooved wick heat pipe, an accurate modeling for the pressure drop characteristics of the liquid flow is required. A novel method for calculating the liquid pressure drop and the velocity profile of an open channel flow in a microchannel with an arbitrary cross-section is suggested and validated by experiments. An experimental apparatus for the Poiseuille number of the liquid flow in open rectangular microchannels with the hydraulic diameters of 0.40mm, 0.43mm, 0.48mm is used in order to reproduce real situations in the grooved wick heat pipe. Analytic results from the suggested method are compared with the experimental data and they are in a close agreement with each other.
