20.500.12556/DiRROS-18128 An experimental study of liquid micro-jets produced with a gas dynamic virtual nozzle under the influence of an electric field The results of an experimental study of micro-jets produced with a gas dynamic virtual nozzle (GDVN) under the influence of an electric field are provided and discussed for the first time. The experimental study is performed with a 50% volume mixture of water and ethanol, and nitrogen focusing gas. The liquid sample and gas Reynolds numbers range from 0.09–5.4 and 0–190, respectively. The external electrode was positioned 400–500 μm downstream of the nozzle tip and an effect of electric potential between the electrode and the sample liquid from 0–7 kV was investigated. The jetting parametric space is examined as a function of operating gas and liquid flow rates, outlet chamber pressure, and an external electric field. The experimentally observed jet diameter, length and velocity ranged from 1–25 μm, 50–500 μm and 0.5–10 m/s, respectively. The jetting shape snapshots were processed automatically using purposely developed computer vision software. The velocity of the jet was calculated from the measured jet diameter and the sample flow rate. It is found that micro-jets accelerate in the direction of the applied electric field in the downstream direction at a constant acceleration as opposed to the standard GDVNs. New jetting modes were observed, where either the focusing gas or the electric forces dominate, encouraging further theoretical and numerical studies towards optimized system design. The study shows the potential to unlock a new generation of low background sample delivery for serial diffraction measurements of weakly scattering objects. micro jet electric field experimental study flow focusing Taylor cone gas dynamic virtual nozzles mikro curek električno polje fokusiranje toka Taylorjev stožec plinsko dinamične virtualne šobe true false true Frontiers Media SA Švica Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik © 2023 Zupan, Peña-Murillo, Zahoor, Gregorc, Šarler, Knoška, Gañán-Calvo, Chapman and Bajt Neznano 2024-02-07 11:29:33 2024-02-07 11:29:34 2024-04-19 09:18:15 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 20. 1. 2023; str. 1-10 Vol. 10 Jan. 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2023-01-19 532.5 2296-889X 10.3389/fmolb.2023.1006733 138668547 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmolb.2023.1006733/full 1 6834e0e0-c59b-11ee-8001-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=24628 RAZ_Zupan_Bor_2023.pdf RAZ_Zupan_Bor_2023.pdf 1 00AC0035DF84A70C8847A9FDEADC7F74 6723072c9952a40826688035c9b58366314ade6845aae07f7762a1fc81ae1ef6 b870f0c2-c59d-11ee-8001-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=24629 Inštitut za kovinske materiale in tehnologije 0 0 0
