Ganguli A, Bhatt V, Yagodnitsyna A, Pinjari D, Pandit A. A Review of Pressure Drop and Mixing Characteristics in Passive Mixers Involving Miscible Liquids. MICROMACHINES 2024; 15:691. [PMID: 38930661 PMCID: PMC11205423 DOI: 10.3390/mi15060691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
The present review focuses on the recent studies carried out in passive micromixers for understanding the hydrodynamics and transport phenomena of miscible liquid-liquid (LL) systems in terms of pressure drop and mixing indices. First, the passive micromixers have been categorized based on the type of complexity in shape, size, and configuration. It is observed that the use of different aspect ratios of the microchannel width, presence of obstructions, flow and operating conditions, and fluid properties majorly affect the mixing characteristics and pressure drop in passive micromixers. A regime map for the micromixer selection based on optimization of mixing index (MI) and pressure drop has been identified based on the literature data for the Reynolds number (Re) range (1 ≤ Re ≤ 100). The map comprehensively summarizes the favorable, moderately favorable, or non-operable regimes of a micromixer. Further, regions for special applications of complex micromixer shapes and micromixers operating at low Re have been identified. Similarly, the operable limits for a micromixer based on pressure drop for Re range 0.1 < Re < 100,000 have been identified. A comparison of measured pressure drop with fundamentally derived analytical expressions show that Category 3 and 4 micromixers mostly have higher pressure drops, except for a few efficient ones. An MI regime map comprising diffusion, chaotic advection, and mixed advection-dominated zones has also been devised. An empirical correlation for pressure drop as a function of Reynolds number has been developed and a corresponding friction factor has been obtained. Predictions on heat and mass transfer based on analogies in micromixers have also been proposed.

Abstract
Abstract
Instead of direct disposal of whey, extraction of valuable products from it may reduce the environmental pollution. In the present study, the effect of ultrasound irradiation through millichannel on recovery of lactose was investigated. The ultrasonic baths of varying amplitude (20–40%) and frequency (25–35 kHz), two different configurations of millichannel i.e., coil and serpentine, were used to know their individual and combined effect on the lactose yield. Box-Behnken design was employed to examine the interactive effect of different operating conditions. The recovery of lactose was enhanced approximately by 5–53% and induction time was reduced by 1.79–1.85 times in comparison to the conventional process. The size of the lactose crystals was reduced from 139.5 to 42.486 μm at 40% amplitude and 49.879 μm at 35 kHz frequency. Optimized condition showed 63% yield of lactose at 3.6 supersaturation, 35 kHz frequency, and 45 min of sonication time.
