Abstract :
The angle effect (α = +30°, ±60°, ±90°, and ±120°) of Y-type micromixers has been extensively studied using micro Laser Induced Fluorescence (μLIF) and micro Particle Image Velocimetry (μPIV) optical techniques to visualize and quantify concentration and velocity fields in order to examine mixing performance. An optimal α was obtained based upon mixing efficiency and mixing length. In addition, the effect of Joule heating on mixing was studied and discussed here.
