Design and Fabrication of Geometrically Enhanced Micromixer for Homogenous Mixing

Article Preview

Abstract:

At a macro scale level, mixing is generally achieved by a turbulent flow, which makes possible of segregating the fluid in small domains, thereby leading to an increase in the contact surface and decrease in the mixing path. At low Reynolds number, the viscous effects dominate inertial effects and a completely laminar flow occurs. In the laminar flow system, fluid streams flow parallel to each other and the velocity at any location within the fluid stream is variant with pressure when boundary conditions are constant and due to the change in surface area–to-volume tension and diffusion, do not simply scale linearly from large to small devices. This makes the use of microfluidic as a mixing device difficult. Thus, the study posed to bridge this gap by created geometrically enhanced Micromixer for homogenous mixing.
