Figure Lengend Snippet: On-chip temperature evaluation. ( a ) Cross section considered for temperature measurements and location of the relative positions of the thermocouples used to calibrate the temperature in real time. ( b ) Geometry used for the 2D numerical simulations. ( c ) Distribution of temperature at steady state, as obtained for the case T hot = 45 °C and T cold = 40 °C. ( d ) Temperature gradients across the channel length. In the schematic, the red horizontal arrow indicates the direction along which the temperature gradient is evaluated. The two graphs report the gradient of temperature inside the channel in the device with the PDMS membrane (left) and in the dummy device (right). In both cases the gradient is linear, with difference between the two situations being negligible.

Article Snippet: Additionally, we performed 2D numerical simulations (COMSOL Multiphysics 4.4a, Massachusetts, USA) to evaluate the cross-sectional distribution of temperature in the middle plane of the device (Fig. ).
