Transport of wetting liquid plugs in bifurcating microfluidic channels.
A plug of wetting liquid is driven at constant pressure through a bifurcation in a microchannel. For a plug advancing in a straight channel, we find that the viscous dissipation in the bulk may be estimated using Poiseuille's law while Bretherton and Tanner's laws model the additional dissipation occurring at the rear and front interfaces. At a second stage, we focus on the behavior of the plug...
متن کاملCritical wetting phenomena : observation of hydrodynamic instabilities
2014 In critical wetting phenomena, the situation of a heavier liquid residing on top of lighter liquid is observed. The consequences of the Rayleigh-Taylor mode of instability in the semicritical wetting layer in a binary liquid mixture are investigated. We also report experimental observations in support of our theory, in the critical binary liquid mixture cyclohexane + acetonitrile. J. Physi...
متن کاملSimulation of Heat Transfer in Liquid Plugs Moving Inside Dry Capillary Tubes
The present work numerically simulates the flow of a single isolated liquid plug (of glycerine and water, respectively) flowing in a round capillary tube (ID = 2.0 mm), to understand its local thermal transport behavior. When an isolated liquid plug moves in a capillary tube there is a difference in the advancing and receding dynamic contact angles of the two menisci, respectively. This has bee...
متن کاملThermo-electro-hydrodynamic instabilities in a dielectric liquid under microgravity
Linear stability analysis of a dielectric fluid confined in a cylindrical annulus of infinite length is performed under microgravity conditions. A radial temperature gradient and a high alternating electric field imposed over the gap induce an effective gravity that can lead to a thermal convection even in the absence of the terrestrial gravity. The linearized governing equations are discretize...
متن کاملWetting phenomena of binary liquid mixtures on chemically altered substrates.
We report measurements of the state of wetting of two liquid mixtures at coexistence near their respective critical consolute temperatures. Borosilicate glass capillary tubes were reacted with hexamethyldisilazane to produce substrates of uniform and controlled silylation. Surfaces of low coverage exhibit a series of first-order partial to complete wetting transitions and obey a short-range for...
