Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Microdroplet Breakup at Asymmetric T Junctions, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Behshad Shafii, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Symmetric T junctions have been used widely in microfluidics to generate equal-sized microdroplets, which are applicable in drug delivery systems. A newly proposed method for generating unequal-size microdroplets at a T junction is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Asymmetric T junctions with branches of identical lengths and different cross-sections are utilized for this aim. A novel equation for the critical breakup of droplets at asymmetric T junctions and one for determining the breakup point of droplets are developed. A good agreement was observed between the theories (novel and previous) and the experiments
