A novel heating area design of temperature-jump microfluidic chip for synchrotron radiation solution X-ray scattering

摘要

In this paper, we present a novel design scheme of temperature-jump(T-jump) area for microfluidic device.Numerical simulation and experimental research of thermal characteristics of the solution in microchannels is completed.Numerical simulation of the temperature-jump microchannel is analyzed to study the heat transfer characteristics by comparing performance of three proposed configurations.Calculation of the power requirement is discussed in the dimensional design of microheater. Temperature-sensitive fluorescent dye is applied to investigate the temperature field of microchannel heated by a designed microheater. It is found that the T-jump microfluidic device can provide rapid heating for solutions with strong convection heat transfer ability.
