Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 16Slip Effects on Ionic Current of Viscoelectric Electroviscous Flows Through Different Length Nanofluidic Channels(American Chemical Society, 2020) Şen, Tümcan; Şen, Tümcan; Barışık, Murat; Barışık, Murat; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of EngineeringThe pressure driven slip flow of an electrolyte solution is studied through different nanofluidic channel lengths at varying salt concentrations. The viscous-thickening due to the electrostatic interactions within the electric double layer and the reverse ionic transport due to the streaming potential are developed. The influence of the Navier slip boundary condition is described under both electroviscous and viscoelectric effects with a surface charge regulation (CR) model while the observed behavior is compared and validated with molecular dynamic (MD) calculations from multiple studies. Results show that electroviscous and viscoelectric effects decrease transport. Earlier studies at the no slip boundary presented an increase of ionic current by increasing salt concentration and decreasing channel length. In contrast, our study found that the ionic current occurred almost independent of both salt concentration and channel length, except for very short channels and very low salt concentrations, when electroviscous and viscoelectric effects were considered. In the case of the constant slip length condition, ionic conduction was enhanced, but velocity slip developing on surfaces showed significant variation based on the salt concentration and channel length. This is due to the natural CR behavior enhancing the surface charge and consequential near surface electrohydrodynamics as a result of increase in salt concentration and/or decrease of channel length. Considering that the electroviscous effect alone creates up to 70% lower velocity slips than Poiseuille flow predictions, while further including the viscoelectric effect, results in an almost no-slip condition at high salt concentrations and/or short channels. As a result, the ionic current of a viscoelectric electroviscous slip flow is found to be equal to 1/3 of an electroviscous slip flow and to decrease with a decrease in the channel length.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 14Size Dependent Surface Charge Properties of Silica Nano-Channels: Double Layer Overlap and Inlet/Outlet Effects(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018) Şen, Tümcan; Barışık, Murat; Barışık, Murat; Şen, Tümcan; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of EngineeringTransport inside nano-channels and tubes is highly dependent on their surface charge properties. While previous studies assume that the charge density of a surface is a material property and independent of confinement size, this study properly characterized the surface charge of a nanochannel as a function of channel height and length under various solution conditions. By calculating the local surface charge based on local ionic concentrations, the surface charge of a nano-channel was studied by considering the effects of both overlapping electrical double layers (EDLs) and inlet/outlet regions. First, the surface charge of silica decreased with the increase in EDL overlap, which is characterized by the ratio of EDL thickness to channel height. Second, the local surface charge showed variation at the inlet/outlet regions where the channel’s electrokinetics was in development. We defined a general entrance length as a function of EDL thickness for the electrokinetically developing part of different cases, after which the surface charge reached its equilibrium value and remained constant. Based on such length scales, we extended the existing theory to include nano-effects. A phenomenological model was developed, which can predict the average nano-channel surface charge as a function of EDL thickness, pH, channel length and channel height.
