We demonstrated micro counter-current flow in a glass microchip utilizing surface modification patterning method to control surface tension. In order to visualize the micro counter-current flow, fluorescent microparticle dispersion solutions were observed by fluorescence microscopy. When the flow volume ratio of water and organic solution was changed, the switching point of flow direction was o...

The miscible liquid-liquid two phases based on Taylor flow in microchannels was investigated by high-speed imaging techniques and Villermaux/Dushman reaction. The mixing based on Taylor flow was much better compared with that without introducing gas in microchannels, even the ideal micromixing performance could be obtained under optimized superficial gas and liquid velocities. In the mixing pro...

Probing the fluid dynamics of thin films is an excellent tool for studying the solid/liquid boundary condition. There is no need for external stimulation or pumping of the liquid, due to the fact that the dewetting process, an internal mechanism, acts as a driving force for liquid flow. Viscous dissipation, within the liquid, and slippage balance interfacial forces. Thus, friction at the solid/...

Real-time in-line interpretation of liquid properties is important for multiphase flow measurements; example, many phase fraction measurement principles have a dependency on characteristics salinity. Therefore, it would be desirable to sensor, such as microwave which can continuously measure the salinity flow. In addition measurement, sensor also water fraction, required flowmeter based single-...
