Effective Thermo-Capillary Mixing in Droplet Microfluidics Integrated with a Microwave Heater
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017-02-07)In this study, we present a microwave-based microfluidic mixer that allows rapid mixing within individual droplets efficiently. The designed microwave mixer is a coplanar design with a small footprint, which is fabricated ... -
Experimental study on droplet generation in flow focusing devices considering a stratified flow with viscosity contrast
(Elsevier BV, 2017-05-18)High throughput analysis is highly demanded in a variety of chemical reactions. Droplet microfluidics offers unique advantages over traditional multi-well plate systems for high throughput analysis such as providing a ... -
Microwave temperature measurement in microfluidic devices
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2016-05-10)In spite of various existing thermometry methods for microfluidic applications, it remains challenging to measure the temperature of individual droplets in segmented flow since fast moving droplets do not allow sufficient ... -
Utilization of Predictive Analytics & Constrained Metaheuristics to Achieve Optimal Operation of a Liquid-fueled Industrial Process Heater
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-11)The operation of industrial combustion devices to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, is necessary in many respects. Increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the present volatility of the price of ...
