Project Type MQP Submission date 2009-04-14 Authors Daniel P Christianson, AE Lindsey Evinn McKan, ME Ronald David Turba, PH URN E-project-041409-170014 Title Production of a Fluid Microjet Using Electrospray and Flow Focusing Advisor Blandino, John J., ME Availability unrestricted Abstract
The purpose of this MQP is designing, building, and testing an apparatus which can support both electrospray and flow focusing. Electrospray is the process of accelerating a positively charged fluid towards an extractor electrode in order to create a fine stream of droplets from a liquid jet. Flow Focusing is the process of creating an axisymmetrical stream of fluid by using a pressurized gas to drag the jet stream through an exit orifice using shear forces. The results of this MQP show images which display how jet stream varies as a function of different independent variables.
