Abstract
In the present study, electrohydrodynamic conduction pumping of n-hexane and n-decane liquid films in an open channel has been investigated experimentally. These two dielectric liquids have nearly the same electrical properties but with their different viscosities. The effects of film thicknesses, the arrangement of electrodes and the gap between pumps on the flow rate of liquid films have been also studied. The pumps with cylindrical electrodes have been installed in the channel. The best performance of the conduction pumps, revealing with experimental results, has been achieved at 8 mm thickness of liquid film with the gap size of 55 mm for both dielectric liquids in the present layout of the pumps.
