Analysis and design optimization of an integrated micropump-micromixer operated for bio-MEMS applications
Cortes, Cesar; Azarbadegan, Alireza; Johnston, Ian; Tracey, M.C. (2014-09-07)A generic microfluidic system composed by two single chamber valveless micropumps connected to a simple T-type channel intersection is examined numerically. The characteristics of a feasible valveless micropump have been ... -
Analysis and multi-criteria design optimization of geometric characteristics of grooved micromixer
Cortes Quiroz, Cesar; Azarbadegan, Alireza; Zangeneh, Mehrdad; Goto, Akira (2010-06-15)Computational fluids dynamics (CFDs) and numerical optimization techniques are applied in an integrated methodology to explore the effects of different geometric characteristics on fluid mixing in a staggered herringbone ... -
Analysis and optimization of a passive micromixer with curved-shaped baffles for efficient mixing with low pressure loss in continuous flow
Cortes Quiroz, Cesar; Azarbadegan, Alireza; Moeendarbary, Emadaldin; Zangeneh, Mehrdad (American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)Numerical simulations and an optimization method are used to study the design of a planar T-micromixer with curved-shaped baffles in the mixing channel. The mixing efficiency and the pressure loss in the mixing channel ... -
Characterization and optimization of a three dimensional T-type micromixer for convective mixing enhancement with reduced pressure loss
Cortes Quiroz, Cesar; Azarbadegan, Alireza; Zangeneh, Mehrdad (American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)Numerical simulations and experiments are used to evaluate the flow and mixing characteristics of a proposed convective 3-D T-type micromixer. The study presents a parametric study and performance optimization of this ... -
Combination rules for multi-chamber valveless micropumps
Azarbadegan, Alireza; Eames, Ian; Wojcik, Adam; Cortes Quiroz, Cesar; Suen, William (2013-10)The general design rules indicate that when identical macroscale pumps (each with a maximum flowrate Qm, and maximum pressure drop ΔPmax) are combined in series the maximum flowrate becomes Qm, but the maximum pressure is ... -
Evaluation of flow characteristics that give higher mixing performance in the 3-D T-mixer versus the typical T-mixer
Cortes, Cesar; Azarbadegan, Alireza; Zangeneh, Mehrdad (2014-10-31)A 3-D configuration of a T-mixer is evaluated under normal operating conditions of the called convective micromixers. The design has been called 3-D T-mixer in our previous work [1] as it adopts a three-dimensional structure ...
