Piezoelectric flexing and output voltage of a microchannel heat engine

In this thesis, a new model is formulated for a piezoelectric membrane and fluid motion in a microchannel heat engine. A new slug flow model is developed for droplet motion in a circular cross-section channel. The model includes friction, pressure, viscous and thermocapillary forces on the droplet....
