Comparative Studies of Boiling and Electrolysis on Micro Bubble Generation

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper studies thermal and electrochemical approaches on micro bubble generation, which have been commonly used in microelectromechanical system. The size and shape effects of micro-bubble actuators are reported in detail.The rate of bubble generation and energy conversion efficiency of the two mapproaches were compared. The micro bubble generation process of the two approaches were analyzed theoretically. By comparing with the experimental results, the micro bubble actuators were optimized.
