Electrokinetic oscillatory flow and energy conversion of viscoelastic fluids in microchannels: a linear analysis
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We study the electrokinetic flow of viscoelastic fluids subjected to an oscillatory pressure gradient, and particularly focus on the resonance behaviors in the flow. The governing equations are restricted to linear regime so that the velocity and streaming potential fields can be solved analytically. Based on the interaction of viscoelastic shear waves, we explain the mechanism of resonance, and derive a critical Deborah number Dec = 1/4 which dictates the occurrence of resonance. Using the Maxwell fluid model, we show that the resonance enhances electrokinetic effects and results in a dramatic increase of electrokinetic energy conversion efficiency. However, by applying the Oldroyd-B fluid model it reveals that the amplification of efficiency is suppressed even for a very small Newtonian solvent contribution. This may be one of the reasons that experimental verification regarding the high efficiency predicted by Bandopadhyay & Chakraborty (Appl. Phys. Lett., vol. 101, 2012, 043905) is unavailable in the literature. Furthermore, the damping effect of solvent viscosity is more significant for higher-order resonances. Introducing the factor of multiple relaxation times, we show that the occurrence of resonances for the streaming potential field and the flow rate are still dominated by Dec. For the efficiency in the multi-mode case, the occurrence of resonance is dominated by the Deborah number De and the mode number N, and the resonance disappears for small De or large N. In addition, a new type of scaling relation between the streaming potential field and EDL thickness can be identified at large De.
