Three Dimensional Triangle Chaotic Micromixer

Article Preview

Abstract:

Micromixer is essential component of microfluidic system which has wide application in the field of chemistry and biochemistry. A highly efficient and easily fabricated three dimensional micromixer based on chaotic advection is proposed and investigated. The depth of 25μm for each layer of micromixer and two kinds of fluids, which have viscosities of 0.00097kgm-1s-1 and 0.186kgm-1s-1 with Re number from 0.001 to 150, are adopted for numerical investigation of mixing efficiency by using ANSYS-Fluent. High mixing index of more than 90% can be obtained by using less than 300μm of length under Re number of 0.01 for mixing Fluid 1. However, it requires 850μm to achieve mixing index of more than 90% for hard-to-mix Fluid 2.
