چکیده
In this work, different microfluidic passive mixer devices were designed, simulated and realized. The mixing unit area was functionalized by microstructures, whose shapes layouts designed in the simulations to improve efficiency of chips. It is known that a micro wall array promising tool for device. present length areal density walls varied order find good performance. then created with ion microlithography UV lithography techniques. Mixing test performed from which efficiencies determined. found, fabricated micromixers can be improved an excellent value more densely distributed longer micro-walls.

Vacuum-Assisted Microfluidic Lithography of Ceramic Microstructures
The method to fabricate complex shaped micro-patterned ceramic structures has been developed. Vacuum-assisted infiltrating the suspensions to the micro channels generated by the contact of polydimethylsiloxane mold to the substrate enables simple micro patterning of ceramics with complex structures in a relatively large area in short time. The use of well-dispersed ethanol-based suspensions of ...
متن کاملDestratification by Mechanical Mixers: Mixing Efficiency and Flow Scaling
Experiments have been performed to assess the efficiency of mechanical mixers in destratifying water bodies. The effects of Reynolds number, physical scale, and Richardson number were all considered. The results demonstrated that the variation of mixing efficiency with Richardson number was well described by two different power-law regimes. At low Richardson numbers, the efficiency increased wi...
متن کاملThree-dimensional multihelical microfluidic mixers for rapid mixing of liquids.
Rapid mixing of liquids is important for most microfluidic applications. However, mixing is slow in conventional micromixers, because, in the absence of turbulence, mixing here occurs by molecular diffusion. Recent experiments show that mixing can be enhanced by generating transient flow resulting in chaotic advection. While these are planar microchannels, here we show that three-dimensional or...
