Abstract In this project we will investigate, using computer simulations, the reverse electrowetting-on-dielectric process (REWOD). These systems are paramount to present day technology, since it is expected to achieve kinetics to electric energy conversion with a high power density and at small scales. To properly simulate these systems, we will use algorithmic optimizations found by Girotto \textit{et al} on a series of published papers. Optimal parameters for REWOD efficiency will be found changing input data of simulations. Liquid and capillarity theories will be developed and then compared against simulations to validate both analysis. Alongside, well established simulation techniques will be implemented to scale up the simulated boxes to the mesoscopic scale. (AU) | |
