AbstractA T-shaped microfluidic micro-mixer was designed to mix desired concentrations of two fluid streams and to prepare their homogenous mixture solution. A hydrostatic pressure gradient was induced in one of the branches of the system (mixing channel) by applying external electric field and generating electroosmotic flow in the two other branches of the system. The flow field and transferred mass into the mixing channel can be regulated by controlling the applied voltage of the system. In order to prepare more homogenous mixture solution, some obstacles were added to the mixing channel to induce perturbation in the flow field and enhance the mixing efficiency of the system. Numerical simulations were performed to show the correctness of the proposed mixing strategy and to investigate the influences of the applied voltage on the mixing efficiency and induced pressure flow in the mixing channel. A proposed design can be used as a guideline to control and enhance mixing efficiency, and consequently functionality, of different microfluidic devices.

This paper presents theoretical and experimental investigations of the pressure-driven two-liquid flow in microchannels with the electroosmosis effect. For a fully developed, steady state, laminar flow of two liquids combined the pressure gradient, electroosmosis and surface charges at the liquid-liquid interface, we have derived analytical solutions that relate the velocity profiles and flow rates to the liquid holdup, the aspect ratio of the microchannel, the viscosity ratio of the two liquids and the externally applied electric field. It was shown that adjusting the externally applied electric field could control the fluid interface position precisely. The prediction from the proposed model compares very well with measured data.
