A wide range of applications in chemistry and biochemistry are driving
the rapid development of microfluidics. This book focuses its
attention on an important subtopic of microfluidics; mixing in
microscale. It provides the fundamentals of transport effects in
microscale including molecular diffusion, convection, and chaotic
advection.
The science and technology of microfluidics cover a wide spectrum and
the science of mixing in microscale has evolved from reports on
fabricated devices to an extensive collection of established
knowledge. The focal point of Micromixers: Fundamentals, Design, and
Fabrication is the current applicable knowledge and practical issues
in designing, fabricating, and characterizing micromixers in the
chemical and biochemical industries. Based on scaling law, it
recommends practical micromixer designs utilizing the advantages of
the microscale effects. The book is intended for practicing engineers
and for upper-level undergraduate and graduate level students.
• Provides the basic terminology and fundamental physics of
transport effects used for designing micromixers.
• Highlights the challenges and advantages of miniaturization in
mixing.
• Outlines currently available microtechnologies for fabricating
micromixers.
• Discusses current applications including lab-on-a-chip for
chemical/biochemical analysis, and chemical production.
• Defines concepts such as electrohydrodynamic, dielectrophoretic,
electrokinetic, magneto hydrodynamic, acoustic and thermal effects and
their implementation in micromixers.
