Students build their own droplet generator from common macroscopic glassware and connecting parts, to create trains of millimetric droplets in which a redox reaction takes place. The activity allows working on reaction kinetics, hydrodynamics at low Reynolds number and image analysis at a macroscopic scale.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
