Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal characteristics of electromagnetohydrodynamic flows in narrow channels with viscous dissipation and Joule heating under constant wall heat flux
TL;DR: In this article, the heat transfer characteristics associated with thermally fully developed combined electromagnetohydrodynamic flows through narrow flow conduits, considering electrokinetics effects, for the constant wall heat flux condition were analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrokinetics with “paper-and-pencil” devices
TL;DR: The underlying electrokinetic phenomenon results in enhanced liquid transport through the paper-fibre matrix, which exhibits significant active electrical controllability and improved repeatability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytical Solution for Thermally Fully Developed Combined Electroosmotic and Pressure-Driven Flows in Narrow Confinements With Thick Electrical Double Layers
TL;DR: In this article, closed form solutions for the Nusselt number were obtained for hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed combined electroosmotic and pressure-driven flows in narrow confinements for the constant wall heat flux boundary condition.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report bimodal motility in autophoretic droplet swimmers, driven by characteristic interfacial flow patterns for each propulsive mode, and demonstrate a dynamical transition from quasiballistic to bimanual chaotic propulsion by controlling the viscosity of the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultra-low-cost ‘paper-and-pencil’ device for electrically controlled micromixing of analytes
TL;DR: In this paper, a frugal, printing-based fabrication methodology for paper channels is presented, in which the normal ink-jet cartridge ink is used to create the barriers for the paper channels, without involving any additional complex materials or intermediary ink modification steps.
