Abstract
An ion-drag pump in a vertical axisymmetric configuration was built. The electrodes were designed from the fluid mechanics standpoint. Different dielectric fluids were compared to establish which produced the best pumping performance. Experimental results showed that pumping performance depended on fluid properties, primarily fluid viscosity and electrical conductivity
