The findings may have implications in a variety of applications, he says, such as painting, producing synthetic fibers, and performing mass spectrometry, to name a few that depend on the precise control of tiny droplets of liquid
augmented by electric fields.
«Through our theoretical analysis, we've shown that
by keeping the same peristalsis hardware, we may obtain an enhanced on - the - fly controllability of the flow rate
by augmenting the device with
electric fields,» said Suman Charkraborty, a professor in the institute's Mechanical Engineering Department, and the Head of its School of Medical Science and Technology.
