Numerical Study on Single Flowing Liquid and Supercritical CO2 Drop in Microchannel: Thin Film, Flow Fields, and Interfacial Profile
(MDPI, 2018-06-01)Taylor segments, as a common feature in two- or multi-phase microflows, are a strong flow pattern candidate for applications when enhanced heat or mass transfer is particularly considered. A thin film that separates these ... -
On nonequilibrium shrinkage of supercritical CO2 droplets in a water-carrier microflow
(AIP Publishing, 2018-07-16)We report an experimental study on the hydrodynamic shrinkage of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)) microdroplets during a nonequilibrium process. After scCO(2 )microdroplets are generated by water shearing upon a ... -
Robust thermal control for CMOS-based lab-on-chip systems
(Institute of Physics, 2015-07-01)The need for precise temperature control at small scales has provided a formidable challenge to the lab-on-chip community. It requires, at once, good thermal conductivity for high speed operation, good thermal isolation ... -
A simple droplet merger design for controlled reaction volumes
(Springer Nature, 2017-04-01)Droplet microfluidics has been proven to be a viable platform for a variety of reactions by using uniform droplets well encapsulated by an immiscible carrier medium as reaction vesicles. Merging as one of the most basic ...
