本研究設計四種矩形瑞士捲混合器並加以探討,另外,觀察T型混合器、方波型與Z字型混合器的流體混合情形,以了解直角轉彎之配置的影響。在本研究中,使用數值軟體CFD-ACE+(CFD Research Corporation)模擬在微混合器中的三維流動與擴散情形。在設計這些微混合器時,考慮了幾個參數,包含流量、轉彎數、流道寬度和分合流的設置,而選擇所考慮的參數的依據為模擬的結果與流體力學的理論。製造微混合器的過程包含:利用光微影製程來製作母膜、使用PDMS翻膜和將翻膜出來的流道與載玻片做接合。實驗使用共軛焦顯微鏡以取得螢光溶液的流動及濃度分佈的影像,並與模擬的結果作比較。本文的結果顯示:(1)直角轉彎若是越多,混合效率通常也較好。(2)加上分合流不一定可以讓混合更好,而是要配合在分流前受到足夠的相同方向離心力所產生的渦流對作用才行。(3)在較低雷諾數下,Z字型、方波型與瑞士捲混合器在混合上,並沒有太大的差別,但是在較高雷諾數時,在產生相同壓降的情況下,瑞士捲混合器較方波型與Z字型混合器能有較好的混合效率。
In this work, we design and investigate four kinds of swissroll micromixers. Besides, to investigate the effects of arrangement of 90-degree bendings, we also examine the liquid mixing in the T-shape micromixer, the squarewave micromixer and the zigzag micromixer. This work uses the software, CFD-ACE+ (CFD Research Corporation), to simulate the three-dimensional flow and diffusion in the micromixers. When designing the micromixers, we consider several parameters, including the flow rates, the number of the bends, the widths of the channels and the split-and-recombine arrangement. We choose the parameters on the basis of the simulation results and the theory of microfluidics. The fabrication process of the micromixers in this work includes applying the photolithography method to fabricate SU-8 mold, replicating the mold by PDMS (polydimethysiloxane), and bonding the former with a sheet of cover glass. Then, the concentration distribution in the flow is obtained by confocal microscopy of aqueous fluorescent streams. The photographs of mixing between two fluids are compared with the results obtained by simulations. The above results show that (i) There is a better mixing quality, if more 90-degree bends were added in a micromixer. (ii) Adding split-and-recombine arrangement does not always generate a better mixing quality, but does enhance mixing for the situations where the vortex pairs induced by centrifugal force in same direction are strong enough before splitting. (iii) For the case with a larger Reynolds number and the same pressure drop, the swissroll micromixer generates a better mixing quality than the squarewave micromixer and the zigzag micromixer do. For the case with a smaller Reynolds number, the mixing in these three micromixers does not show significant difference.
