The dynamic characteristics of a valve-less micropump

The aim of this paper is to investigate the dynamic characteristics of a valve-less micropump. A dynamic mathematical model of the micropump based on a hydraulic analogue system and a simulation method using AMESim software are developed. By using the finite-element analysis method, the static analysis of the diaphragm is carried out to obtain the maximum deflection and volumetric displacement. Dynamic characteristics of the valve-less micropump under different excitation voltages and frequencies are simulated and tested. Because of the discrepancy between simulation results and experimental data at frequencies other than the natural frequency, the revised model for the diaphragm maximum volumetric displacement is presented. Comparison between the simulation results based on the revised model and experimental data shows that the dynamic mathematical model based on the hydraulic analogue system is capable of predicting dynamic characteristics of the valve-less micropump at any excitation voltage and frequency.     

Modeling and performance study of a beam microgyroscope

We develop a mathematical model of a microgyroscope whose principal component is a rotating cantilever beam equipped with a proof mass at its end. The microgyroscope undergoes two flexural vibrations that are coupled via base rotation about the microbeam longitudinal axis. The primary vibratory motion is produced in one direction (drive direction) of the microbeam by a pair of DC and AC voltages actuating the proof mass. The microbeam angular rotation induces a secondary vibration in the orthogonal (sense) direction actuated by a second DC voltage. Closed-form solutions are developed for the linearized problem to study the relationship between the base rotation and gyroscopic coupling. The response of the microgyroscope to variations in the DC voltage across the drive and sense electrodes and frequency of excitation are examined and a calibration curve of the gyroscope is obtained analytically.     

Simulations and analysis of a piezoelectric micropump

A number of micropumps have been proposed in the last few years based on different actuating principles and fabricated by different technologies. However, many of those micropumps have been designed taking into account primarily available microfabrication technologies rather than appropriate pump performance analysis. In fact, not all papers are available in the literature presenting theoretical models usable to describe the functioning and predict the performance of those micropumps. In this paper, we present a new micropump model and FEA method suitable for guiding the design and predicting the performance of a micropump actuated by a piezoelectric actuator. The model takes into account the influence of piezoelectric transducer and pump geometry. Simulations have been performed and compared with results of experiments on a prototype micropump fabricated in our laboratory.

Monte Carlo study of coaxially gated CNTFETs: capacitive effects and dynamic performance

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) appear as a promising candidate to shrink field-effect transistors (FET) to the nanometer scale. Extensive experimental works have been performed recently to develop the appropriate technology and to explore DC characteristics of a carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNTFET). In this work, we present results of a Monte Carlo simulation of a coaxially gated CNTFET, including electron–phonon scattering. Our purpose is to present the intrinsic transport properties of such material through the evaluation of the electron mean-free-path. To highlight the potential of the high performance level of CNTFET, we then perform a study of the DC characteristics and of the impact of capacitive effects. Finally, we compare the performance of CNTFET with that of a Si nanowire MOSFET. To cite this article: H. Cazin d'Honincthun et al., C. R. Physique 9 (2008).

A theoretical study of a special detonation regime of operation of a pulse detonation device with a variable cross section detonation combustion chamber and a valveless supply system

The results of a theoretical study of the special detonation regime that arises in a pulse detonation device with a variable cross section combustion chamber are presented. The problem is solved analytically within the framework of the one-dimensional approximation. In contrast to the standard version of arbitrary discontinuity disintegration, the problem is solved for a variable cross section at the location of the diaphragm. Since the pulse detonation device operated with a valveless system of fuel and oxidizer supply, a fuel flowed through it over the entire period before spark ignition. This peculiarity of the operation of the combustion chamber was also taken into account. The proposed approach was used to perform calculations for methane-oxygen mixtures, for which extensive experimental data exist. The calculation results are compared to the available experimental data.

Static and dynamic performance optimisation of a 1.3 μm GaInNAs ridge waveguide laser

In this work, we perform a multi-parameter design study to improve the performance of an uncooled directly modulated 1.3 μm GaInNAs ridge waveguide laser for high speed operation especially at high temperature. The static and dynamic performance of the improved design is analyzed using an accurate in-house 2D electro-opto-thermal laser simulator. The improved structure is shown to have a lower threshold current, higher thermal roll-over limit and higher modulation bandwidth—especially under high temperature operation. The improved structure also has a lower vertical beam divergence compared to a reference structure with a conventional design.     

A study on the performance of a gyromonotron

A method is presented which allows to calculate the large signal beam efficiency of a gyromonotron working at the s-th harmonic of the cyclotron frequency. The results of this calculation using efficiency optimized parameters are given for different TE_mn distributions and also for a magnetic taper. It is shown that beam efficiencies, which are higher than twice the value at constant electric and magnetic fields are theoretically possible. Also the influence of the beam voltage is considered. For a given beam voltage and a given electric field distribution in the resonator power calculations are performed and it is shown what powerlevels are available for different resonator modes and for different cyclotron harmonics.

Microfabricated polydimethylsiloxane microfluidic system including micropump and microvalve for integrated biosensor

We present a microfluidic system with paraffin-actuated microvalves and a thermopneumatic-actuated micropump that are easily integrated on the same substrate using the same fabrication process. The fabrication process of this microfluidic system using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), indium tin oxide (ITO) and glass is relatively simple, and its performance is good for the application of the disposable lab-on-a-chip. A maximum pumping rate of about 2.0 μl/min was measured at a duty ratio of 5% and a frequency of 1 Hz. The flow cut-off powers for the microvalves with the channel depth of 220 μm, were 300 and 350 mW for valve seat diameters of 1.5 and 2.0 mm, respectively. The power for flow cut-off depends on the channel depth and the diameter of the valve seat in the microvalves.     

Experimental study of dynamic and noise produced by a gearing excited by a multi-harmonic excitation

This paper deals with the rattle noise, caused by the fluctuation of the engine torque (acyclic excitation) which, under special conditions, can cause multiple impacts inside the gearbox. Its aim is to experimentally describe the rattle phenomenon in a gearbox. First, a fully instrumented test rig consisting of a simplified gearbox was designed in order to recreate the rattle noise phenomenon for a multi harmonic excitation imposed to the input shaft of the gearbox. Second, different gearbox configurations were used to characterize the rattle threshold and the rattle noise evolution, in relation to excitation parameters and mechanical gearbox parameters. Third, a simplified model of the rattle phenomenon is drawn, aiming to determine the most significant parameters to the rattle noise.     

Perturbational study of a model of chemisorption including dynamic image effects

Recent calculations of the effects of dynamic screening on the valence spectra of adsorbates, based on the rigid Fermi sea approximation, are criticized as inadequate. A new perturbational scheme which takes into account the interplay between one-electron scattering and many-body screening processes is presented and used for a model calculation of the spectra of occupied adsorbate levels. The results for the shape and the shift of the first plasmon satellite obtained in the adiabatic limit are shown to be different from those obtained by the convolution procedure of the rigid Fermi sea approximation.
