Enhancement of liquid-liquid micromixing performance in curved capillary microreactor by generation of Dean vortices

Micromixing efficiency is an important parameter for evaluating the multiphase mass transfer perfor-mance and reaction efficiency of microreactors.In this work,the novel curved capillary reactor with different shapes was designed to generate Dean flow,which was used to enhance the liquid-liquid micromixing performance.The Villermaux-Dushman probe reaction was employed to characterize the micromixing performance in different curved capillary microreactors.The effects of experiment param-eters such as liquid flow rate,inner diameter,tube length,and curve diameter on micromixing perfor-mance were systematically investigated.Under the optimal conditions,the minimum value of the segmentation factor Xs was 0.008.It was worth noting that at the low Reynolds number(Re<30),the change of curved shape on the capillary microreactor can significantly improve the micromixing perfor-mance with Xs reduced by 37.5%.Further,the correlations of segment index Xs with dimensionless factor such as Reynolds number or Dean number were developed,which can be used to predict the liquid-liquid micromixing performance in capillary microreactors.
