Abstract :
Separation of nano-particles from the fluid in micro-channels has a wide application in industry and is the subject of a plenty of researches today. In the present paper, the flow of blood plasma which contains ions and is considered as nano-particles in a micro-channel has been studied. The channel inside wall is of a porous material which consists of amino functionalized group-type one that causes the ions to separate from the blood and absorb to the channel wall because of electrostatic interaction between blood ions and micro-channel wall material. Based on this study at first time, an optimum dimensions have been represented to decrease the process time and channel length.
