Fig. 4: Simulation of the heat transfer in the nested capillary.
From: Microfluidic flowmeter based on a liquid crystal-filled nested capillary
a Schematic diagram of the nested capillary structure, b 3-dimensional temperature distribution within the nested capillary at the air flow rate of 0.9 sccm, c temperature distribution within the x–y cross section at the z coordinate of 500 µm, d minimal temperature of the LC area in figure (c) as a function of the air flow rate. (LC: liquid crystal).
