Micromixer
Micromixers are components of microfluidics . They are used to mix fluids . A distinction is made between the following mixer types:
- Standard mixer:
Works according to the multilamination principle . Two mass flows are divided into micro-channels (channels with a diameter of less than 1 mm) and fed into a mixing room. An effective mixing is achieved by suitable, adjacent arrangement of the outlets.
- Cyclone mixer:
The fluids to be mixed are set in rotation by a tangential entry into the mixing chamber. Mixing occurs through fluid mechanical processes.
- Coriolis microreactor:
The fluids to be mixed are pumped through microchannels on a rotating disk. The Coriolis effect that occurs here causes mixing.
