Numerical Investigation of the Mixing Performance of a Split Circular Obstacle-Based Micromixer

Overview
Microfluidic technology is highly effective in enhancing the chemical reactions’ kinetics. Microreactors take advantage of the microflow phenomenon. Obstacle-based microreactors have proved their effectiveness in enhancing the rates of mass transfer, therefore, they hold reactions with limited mass transfer rate for improving yield, and selectivity. In this work, the semi-circular obstacles are investigated for their effect on mixing enhancement rather than the circular obstacles. Herein, circular obstacles are split into two semi-circular obstacles to study the effect of increasing the sub-streams to three instead of two only. Splitting the circular obstacles into two semi-circles demonstrated significant improvement regarding the mixing quality. Semi-circular obtsacles improves the mixing index, espcially at higher Reynolds number. At Re =100 the mixing index increased from 56.94% with one circular obstacle to 94.07% with two semi-circular obstacles, that means mixing efficiency is enhanced by 65%.
