- Abstract
Thermal mass flow controllers use capillary tubes to form fluid channels. For microfluidic channel smaller than 1 mm, in the supercritical state, the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet is large, resulting in obvious changes in fluid density. At the same time, the increase of the pressure gradient will cause the fluid cannot reach the fully developed stage of flow quickly. Therefore, in the flow analysis and heat transfer analysis, the microfluidic channel is quite different from the conventional scale channel. Based on the 0.34 mm capillary microfluidic channel, this paper analyzes the influence of the downstream valve opening on fluid flow and heat transfe. It can be seen from the simulation analysis and experimental data that the larger the opening of valve is, the lower the back pressure of the capillary channel is. Due to the accelerating state of fluid, the fully developed convective heat transfer and incompressible flow state are damaged, thereby affecting the real-time flow measured by the heating wire wrapped around the capillary.
