| Abstract | Advances in nanotechnology allows for electrodeposition and fabrication of micro/nano electrodes between substrates of microfluidic channels which later can be used as electrodes to apply DC or AC voltage. Microchannels taking advantage of this technology have shown promising results in flow cytometry [1,2], and cell sorting applications [3–6]. In this paper, first we study the influence of electric potential on particle sorting in a microchannel. For this purpose, a two dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is created, meshed and solved in STAR-CCM+ which is a commercial simulation tool. Two type of spherical solid particles with different diameter are introduced through an injector from particulate flow inlet. These solid particles are treated as Lagrangian phase. The simulations are conducted in transient mode and the particle injection is occurred once the flow regime became steady state. The proposed model is based on finite volume approach and confirms the effectiveness of dielectrophoresis on particle sorting. In the second part of this work, we focus on optimizing the separation efficiency of microchannel by implementing Siemens exclusive automated design exploration technology named SHERPA. Through this hybrid and adaptive strategy we investigate 4 key parameters including electric potential, flow velocity at two inlets, and particle mass flow rate. The objective is to minimize the electric potential while maximize the efficiency of device, measured by amount of particles separated at the outlet. In total 40 designs are evaluated. The results show that by adjusting the flow rate ratio between inlets, and applying a low voltage such as 5 V, you can increase the mass flow rate of segregated particles by approximately 100 times. The proposed model not only can help shortening the time to market for new dielectrophoresis based channels, but also be used to optimize the overall device performance to achieve the best separation efficiency at optimal condition. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
