Pressure Drop <strong>in</strong> <strong>Microchannels</strong><br />
The pressure drop due to forc<strong>in</strong>g a fluid<br />
through a small channel may produce<br />
design limitations.<br />
V is the mean flow velocity<br />
L is the flow length<br />
ρ is the fluid density<br />
f is the friction factor, depends on<br />
the aspect ratio.<br />
Limitations may <strong>in</strong>clude:<br />
1)Pump<strong>in</strong>g Power<br />
2)Mechanical Stress<br />
Limitation of the Chip<br />
