Rapid transesterification of micro-amount of lipids from microalgae via a micro-mixer reactor.
BACKGROUND Fatty acid composition is an important physiological parameter of microalgae, which is taken as the third generation alternative resource of biodiesel. To boost microalgal research and applications, a convenient, rapid, and acid-catalyzed transesterification procedure that satisfies the demand for the analysis of the fatty acid composition of lipids with micro-scale samples in the hi...
متن کاملLyapunov Exponents of a Micro Chaotic Mixer
In this paper, we study the Lyapunov exponents of a micro chaotic mixer to understand the mixing effectiveness under different operating parameters. A simple kinematic micro mixer model is used for the simulated flow visualization and then for the computation of Lyapunov exponents using two different numerical methods. These two methods generate consistent result to corroborate the existence of...
متن کاملRapid mixing of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a three-dimensional micro-mixer using non-uniform magnetic field
The mixing of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a magnetic micro-mixer was studied numerically using ferrofluid. The mixing process was performed in a three-dimensional steady-state micro-mixer. A magnetic source was mounted at the entrance of the micro-channel to oscillate the magnetic particles. The effects of electric current, inlet velocity, size of magnetic particles, and non-Newtonia...
متن کاملSteam Reforming Integrated with Oxidation of Methanol in a Micro-Channel Reactor with Different Micro-Baffle Shapes
A micro-channel heat exchanger reactor with different micro-baffle shapes has been studied numerically. Governing equations were solved base on the finite volume method with FLUENT software. In upper section, oxidation reaction of methanol was occurred and in lower section, steam reforming of methanol was done. Two sections were separated with solid part which played as heat exchanger and trans...
متن کاملOptimizing Mixer Geometries for Dielectrophoretic Micro-concentrators
Dielectrophoretic (DEP) force, generated by interdigitated electrodes (IDEs), has been utilized to capture bio-particles for microfluidic concentration. However, due to the localized DEP force, DEP-based A -concentrators usually have shallow channels and thus are operated under low flow rates. In this thesis, we propose a mixer-enhanced DEPbased concentrator which can be operate under high flow...
