Table 1. Geometry of retention burst valves (RBVs) for autonomous delivery of four liquids. Junction pressures during drainage of RBVs were calculated using eqn (3).
RBV1 | RBV2 | RBV3 | RBV4 | |
Width (μm) | 960 | 670 | 480 | 380 |
Height (μm) | 1000 | 750 | 650 | 550 |
RBV pressure P i (Pa) | –194 | –271 | –358 | –441 |
P J during drainage (Pa) | –238 | –309 | –390 | –443 |
