Increasing and decreasing droplets velocity in micro channels

Résumé

This paper deals with a specific aspect of non miscible liquid-liquid systems in microfluidic. For Chemical Engineering applications, the main constraints of functioning lies in the droplets velocity and frequency. Furthermore, the material used and the composition of the fluids is often imposed by the chemistry of the system (material resistance, fluids composition) and there is no possibility of adding other compound (surfactants for example). A technique under evaluation is presented: by using secondary channels and pumps, it is possible to increase or decrease at will the droplets velocity after they have been generated. Some experimental results are presented and discussed, including the possible limits of such an approach.
