In mini/micro-channel two-phase flow, slug flow occurs easily because of the significant
influence of surface tension and the low gravitational effect on the flow. Although an …

In today's complex micro–electro–mechanical systems (MEMS), investigation of flow through
irregular micro/nanochannels, such as bended channels, variable cross-sectional area …

For many blood-based diagnostic tests, including prophylactic drug analysis and malaria
assays, red blood cells must be lysed effectively prior to their use in an analytical workflow …

This paper comprehensively reviews the fundamental principles, innovative designs, and
multidisciplinary applications of micromixers. First, it introduces the fundamental principles of …

In this study, toluene nitration was scaled up in a meso-scale flow reactor and safety was
considered. The exothermic characteristic was demonstrated in a batch calorimeter. Parallel …

The flow and heat transfer behaviors of gas–liquid Taylor flow in a 1× 1 mm square
microchannel are experimentally investigated in this paper, focusing on evaluating the slug …

Gas flow and heat transfer in confined geometries at micro-and nanoscales differ
considerably from those at macro-scales, mainly due to nonequilibrium effects such as …

The liquid–liquid two-phase flow and size prediction of slug droplets in flow-focusing
microchannels with different downstream orifice sizes were investigated experimentally …

Flocculants are often added during produced water treatment to improve the crude oil
droplet growth and separation from the water phase. Prior to use in the field, their …

We have recently presented a novel approach (called the centrifuge-trapping method)
based on a microfluidic structure for the generation of stratified flow and slug flow for …
