Abstract

The proposed work focusses on the 2D design and modelling of integrated microcantilever in microchannel for the analysis of fluid pressure. In order to compute the microfluidic pressure in microchannel at various angles, fluid structure interaction is analyzed using the finite element method. With a fluid flow rate of 4.33 cm/s, a 2D integrated microcantilever can optimize both fluid pressure and microcantilever deflection. The novelty of the microfluidic pressure sensing mechanism allows pressure of fluid to be sensed in a microchannel without connecting any electrical method such as piezoresistor or piezoelectric approach. The objective of the research is to integrate a microcantilever into a microchannel to reduce setup complexity and procedure cost. Maximum deflection of the 2D T-microcantilever achieved 10.30µm at, pressure at the tip of T-microcantilever 10.89 Pa, fluid velocity 0.00309 m/sec, and Reynolds number is 1.22.
