Abstract :
Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pumping based on the electric conduction mechanism shows a great promise for space and terrestrial applications. This paper experimentally investigates the effect of working fluid temperature on the performance of the EHD conduction pumping. A brief fundamental explanation is also included to address the observed trend.
