Many types of passive micromixers have been developed based on various... [Pg.114]

Passive micromixers rely on the mass transport phenomena provided by molecular diffusion and chaotic advection. These devices are designed with a channel geometry that increases the surface area between the different fluids and decreases the diffusion path. By contrast, the enhancement of chaotic advection can be realized by modifying the design to allow the manipulation of the laminar flow inside the channels. The modified flow pattern is characterized by a shorter diffusion path that improves the mixing velocity. In this section, an overview of the different types of passive micromixers is provided. Mixed phase passive micromixers can be categorized as ... [Pg.33]

Passive Mixing. Passive or static mixing technologies are typically simple in that they involve no moving parts. Probably, the most common types of micromixing devices are lamination micromixers, of which... [Pg.1651]
