Thermocapillary actuation of a water droplet encapsulated in an oil plug
This paper reports the theoretical and experimental results of thermocapillary actuation of silicon oil plugs with encapsulated water droplet inside a capillary tube. The paper first describes the analytical models for this actuation concept. The model considers periodic actuation based on heat tran...
