HYDRODYNAMIC STUDIES ON LIQUID-LIQUID TWO PHASE FLOW SEPARATION IN MICROCHANNEL BY CFD MODELLING

Microfluidic systems undergo rapid expansion of its application in different industries over the few decades. Industries have exploited its surface tensiondominated property to achieve better mixing and improve mass transfer between two immiscible liquids. Rapid separation is needed for many reac...
