Experimental investigation of microparticle focusing in SiO2 nanofluids inside curvilinear microchannels
Curvilinear microchannels have enabled high throughput sized-based separation and manipulation of microparticles. Real life applications usually deal with fluid’s non-Newtonian behavior, where particles dynamics are altered compared to Newtonian mediums. Despite multiple reports on particle manipulation in shear-thinning fluids, no fundamental experimental investigation has been reported on microparticle focusing behavior inside shear-thickening fluids such as metallic oxide nanofluids in water (e.g., SiO2-water). These nanofluids pose unique thermal characteristics and exhibit a drastic increase in viscosity as the shear rate rises in the microchannel. Here, we investigate the particle focusing behavior of co-flows of SiO2 nanofluids inside curved microchannels with various channel widths and radii of curvature. We also report on the effect of nanofluid concentration, fluid axial velocity, and the particle size on particle migration. We observed a behavioral change in particle migration in SiO2 nanofluids, where the shear-dependent effect could enhance the particle focusing at lower flow rates. Moreover, the dominance of Dean drag at higher axial velocities would dominate the particle migration and transfer them towards two focusing peaks close to the sidewalls. A thorough investigation of particle behavior in nanofluids inside curved microchannels could enable future applications in heat exchangers, solar energy collectors, and nanoplastic detection.
期刊介绍:
Microfluidics and Nanofluidics is an international peer-reviewed journal that aims to publish papers in all aspects of microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip science and technology. The objectives of the journal are to (1) provide an overview of the current state of the research and development in microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices, (2) improve the fundamental understanding of microfluidic and nanofluidic phenomena, and (3) discuss applications of microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices. Topics covered in this journal include:
1.000 Fundamental principles of micro- and nanoscale phenomena like,
flow, mass transport and reactions
3.000 Theoretical models and numerical simulation with experimental and/or analytical proof
4.000 Novel measurement & characterization technologies
5.000 Devices (actuators and sensors)
6.000 New unit-operations for dedicated microfluidic platforms
7.000 Lab-on-a-Chip applications
8.000 Microfabrication technologies and materials
Please note, Microfluidics and Nanofluidics does not publish manuscripts studying pure microscale heat transfer since there are many journals that cover this field of research (Journal of Heat Transfer, Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow, etc.).
