18 results about "Laplace pressure" patented technology

The Laplace pressure is the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of a curved surface that forms the boundary between a gas region and a liquid region. The pressure difference is caused by the surface tension of the interface between liquid and gas. The Laplace pressure is determined from the Young–Laplace equation given as ΔP≡Pᵢₙₛᵢdₑ-Pₒᵤₜₛᵢdₑ=γ(1/R₁+1/R₂), where R₁ and R₂ are the principal radii of curvature and γ (also denoted as σ) is the surface tension.

Synchronization of capillary flow in parallel microchannels using passive microfluidic valves

PCT designated stage expiredWO2025099740A1Laboratory glasswaresFluid controllersLaplace pressureMechanical engineering
The present invention relates to a trigger valve integrated with the stop valve to synchronize the flow in parallel microchannels. A stop valve is made by introducing a step on three sides of the microchannel. A step is a 90° divergence along the path of any side of the microchannel. The step is introduced on both the side walls and the bottom wall. Since there is no modification on the top valve, the liquid can move on the top wall freely. A trigger valve is a modified version of the stop valve, where the channel is slowly converging in a curved manner with a pointed tip. Both valves have the same height and width work based on the Laplace pressure change at the meniscus of the flowing fluid. The valves act as pressure barriers to the fluid flow enables synchronizing the flow in parallel microchannels with one single inlet.

A high-speed fog collection method based on the self-driven water jet phenomenon of micro-droplets, belonging to the field of fog collection, is realized by a fog collector and the water inside the fog collector. The inner and outer surfaces of the fog collector have superhydrophobicity, and the surface through-hole array thereof has superhydrophilicity. The outer surface of the fog collector can easily capture the tiny fog droplets in the fog flow. The tiny fog droplets grow and merge on the outer surface of the fog collector to form sub-millimeter-sized micro-droplets. The superhydrophilic through-holes on the surface of the fog collector will be wetted by the water inside the fog collector. Once the micro-droplets come into contact with the superhydrophilic holes, they will form a whole with the water inside the fog collector. The micro-droplets will enter the inside of the fog collector under the action of the internal Laplace pressure and generate a water jet phenomenon. In addition, the micro-droplets will also merge with other micro-droplets around the superhydrophilic holes during the process of entering the inside of the fog collector and enter the inside of the fog collector together. The present invention has the advantages of small droplet shedding size, high droplet shedding frequency, and high fog collection rate, etc.
