Abstract:Microchannels are used for delivery of two-or more fluids for multiple purposes, such as drug delivery, where good mixing is desired in a very short time (or distance). For this purpose, many design options are being proposed in the literature. For example herringbone baffles at the bottom of a rectangular channel are proposed to enhance mixing in a drug delivery device [6]. To assess the effectiveness of such devices many experiments need to be performed thus reducing the design cycle time and the cost involv… Show more
“…To overcome this problem, we have defined an equivalent Reynolds number. We have followed the same approach as that used in two-phase flow analysis where only one Reynolds number is defined with characteristics of both liquid and vapor [13]. By defining the mass flow rate densities as:…”

“…In all the experiments, it is important to characterize the degree of mixing. Manickam [13] has defined the quality of mixing based on concentrations. In our case, we have proposed another type of criterion based on temperatures.…”

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.
