Aim The purpose of this experiment was to plan‚ design‚ fabricate and test the structure of a microfluidic flow structure. Background Microfluidic structures are a relatively new topic of study. While the concept of fluids and the study of the flow of fluids through all sorts of various forms of ducts‚ environments and scenarios have been extensively studied by some of the greatest minds of in history‚ the novelty of microfluidics is not surprising. This is due to the fact that despite the fact

Although different in many respects‚ liquids and gases have a common characteristic in which they differ from solids; they are fluids‚ lacking the ability of solids to offer permanent resistance to a deforming force.

components of the drag force on a circular cylinder. The devices used in this experiment were a fan‚ closed-channel venturi-shape pipe‚ a Pitot tube‚ circular cylinder with holes of different angles‚ U-tube manometers and a barometer. INTRODUCTION When a fluid is passing through an object‚ it produces a total force on the object. This force is a combined force of lift and drag forces (Anderson 2007). External flows past objects have been studied extensively because of their many practical applications

1 Potential Flow Part I. Theoretical Background. Potential Flow. Potential flow is frictionless‚ irrotational flow. Even though all real fluids are viscous to some degree‚ if the effects of viscosity are sufficiently small then the accompanying frictional effects may be negligible. Viscous effects become negligible‚ for example‚ for flows at high Reynolds number that are dominated by convective transport of momentum. Thus potential flow is often useful for analyzing external flows over solid surfaces

Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that studies fluids (liquids‚ gases‚ and plasmas) and the forces on them. Fluid mechanics can be divided into 1) fluid statics‚ the study of fluids at rest; 2) fluid kinematics‚ the study of fluids in motion; 3) fluid dynamics‚ the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion. Fluid Mechanics Overview Fluid is a substance that is capable of flowing. It has no definite shape of its own. It assumes the shape of its container. Liquids and gases are

Chapter 8 Flow in Pipes 8-76E Solution The flow rate through a piping system between a river and a storage tank is given. The power input to the pump is to be determined. Assumptions 1 The flow is steady and incompressible. 2 The entrance effects are negligible‚ and thus the flow is fully developed. 3 The flow is turbulent so that the tabulated value of the loss coefficients can be used (to be verified). 4 The elevation difference between the free surfaces of the tank and the river remains constant

Ions‚ atoms and molecules are constantly in random motion; this is mainly marked in liquids and gases as they are further apart. When there is a small amount of molecules of a substance in an area and a large number is another area and they have no barrier between them the random motion causes numbers to even up; this is called diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration. The concentration gradient is when the concentration is different for each
