Abstract

In the first part of the paper a micropump based on the periodic growth and collapse of a single vapor bubble in a small channel is described. An explanation of the pumping principle and some preliminary experimental results are presented. In the implementation described the liquid is electrically conductive and is heated by passing a current through it; the same principle would be applicable to the case of non-conducting liquids by using heaters embedded in the channel walls. In the second part of the paper a model for the growth of a bubble onto a heater in a liquid is presented and some numerical results are discussed.
