Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigates the effects of the two charge generation mechanisms, charge injection and dissociation, and liquid temperature on overall EHD pump chanracteristics. It is shown that when the mechanisms of charge injection and dissociation act in concert, the total developed pressure is augmented to be larger than the sum of the pressures developed by each mechanism separately. This synergistic augmentation is caused by the interactions between the injected and dissociated charges. It is also found that the degree to which the pressure is synergistically augmented depends on the configuration of electrodes in the EHD design. In addition, it is shown that the pressure developed by the EHD pump at a zero flow rate increases with decreasing temperature and the slope of pressure-flow rate characteristics is steeper with lower temperature. The results obtained in the study will contribute to designing EHD pumps suited to heat transport devices used in space.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
従来,注入電荷と解離電荷のいずれかのみを取り上げ,イオンドラッグポンプ,純伝導ポンプと呼ばれるEHDポンプの研究が別々に行われて来た.しかしながら,両電荷は同時に存在するのが通常であり,両電荷の存在を考慮してEHDポンプを設計する必要があることを示したことは極めて意義深い.また,作動液体の温度の影響について明らかにし,EHDポンプの宇宙用熱輸送デバイスへの適用に向けて有益な情報を提供できた.
