Successive vertical separation and horizontal reuniting of fluid streams increases the number of laminates with each stage and, thus, the contact area between the two fluids.http://transducers.stanford.edu/stl/Projects/fluidic-charact.htmlPLUME MIXERSPLUME MIXERSTakes advantage of the behavior of a fluid leaving a narrow nozzle (15m)Generates a small plume which increases the contact area of two liquidsHomogeneous mixing in 1.2 secs in a 0.5 l volume at a 45 l/min flow rateACTIVE MIXERSACTIVE MIXERSThe use of external energy–Ultrasonic traveling wave pumps moving fluids in a circulating path–Bubble pumps – two large pumps used to generate push & pull forcesKEY POINTSKEY POINTSMembrane pumps are the most common type of micro pumping device currently fabricatedAn attempt is being made to phase out check valves and other mechanisms that slow down the frequency response of the pumping system.–Drive toward diffuser valvesMore flow loss, but increase in frequency.Pumps with non-moving parts are preferred due to higher reliability, etc.Bubble, electroosmotic, and electrophoretic pumps tend to be the direction in bio-micro fluidics applications.KEY POINTS (con’t)KEY POINTS (con’t)Passive valves are commonly used because they are easier to fabricate and are smaller that actuated valvesThe easier and cheaper the valve is to fabricate the more likely it will be usedChemically reactive valves are ideal for bio-microfluidics because they are easy to make, they are small and they behave as an active valveKEY POINTS (con’t)KEY POINTS (con’t)Laminating Mixers – to laminate fluids togetherPlume Mixers – plume is generated to increase contact area of two liquidsActive Mixers – uses external energy to mix
