Electrokinetic Flow and Measure Method in Microfluidic

Article Preview

Abstract:

An analytical solution for pressure-driven electrokinetic flows in a narrow capillary is presented based on the Poisson–Boltzmann equation for electrical double layer and the Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible viscous fluid. The analytical solutions indicate that pressure-driven flow of an electrolyte solution in microchannel with charged solid wall induces a streaming potential, which is proportional to the flowrate and induces an electroviscous effect on flow. A device for measuring the electrokinetic flow rate and streaming potential is proposed.
