Abstract
Rapid advancement in microelectronics requires efficient component cooling. In this study, the effects of emitting electrodes on the performance of a two stage electrohydrodynamic (EHD) gas pump are evaluated by experiment and numerical simulations. A two stage EHD gas pump with 8 emitting electrodes is evaluated and the results are compared with 24 and 56 emitting electrodes configurations. It is evaluated for a wide range of operating voltages starting from 20 kV up to 28 kV. The emitting electrodes of the pump are flush mounted on the channel walls so that the corona wind produced directly disturbs the boundary layer thickness. This is leading to a higher velocity near the channel walls and resulting in an inverted parabolic velocity profile at the center of the channel, which is opposite to the fully developed velocity profile of a forced flow. Velocities are measured at three cross-sections along the tube length and then integrated to obtain the volume flow rate.
