This study investigates the performace of electroosmotic micropumps with arrays of microelectrodes for pumping electrolyte in a microchannel. Traveling-wave potentials are applied to the microelectrode arrays. Ions accumulate in the double layer in response to the applied signal. The electric field acts on the charge pulling the fluid in the direction of the traveling wave. In this study, the effects of the widths and heights of the electrodes, the gap size between the electrodes and the frequency of the applied traveling-wave potential on the pumping velocity of the micropump are investigated in order to obtain the optimum design of the micropump. The optimum operating frequency of the traveling-wave potential is about 1 kHz for the micropumps with different electrode widths and gap sizes. The pumping velocities increase with the decrease of the electrode widths and gap sizes for the micropumps. For the micropumps with different electrode widths and gap sizes, it is found the optimum electrode heights are about 5.5 μm when the gap sizes are less than the electrode widths, and the optimum electrode heights are about 10.4 μm when the gap sizes are greater than the electrode widths.

Element Analysis

In order to increase the rotational speed of an ultrasonic motor using a flexural traveling wave, slits made on the surface of the stator are very effective. In this paper the projections made by the slits are called ""sub-reeds"" for convenience. Though the sub-reeds play important roles in an ultrasonic motor, their dimensions are generally decided through trial and error. This paper presents the optimum design method of a sub-reed by using elastic vibration analysis. This method calculates the dimensions of the sub-reed of which resonant frequency is same as that of the basic disc. This paper also shows that the resonance of the sub-reed mainly causes the magnification of the amplitude by using finite element analysis. The optimum design method and the mechanism of the magnification mentioned above are confirmed by experiments.
