Abstract In this paper, a novel micromixer with complex 3D-shape inner units
was put forward and fabricated by metal Additive Manufacturing (AM). The
design of the micromixer combined the constraints of selective laser melting technology and the factors to improve mixing efficiency. Villermaux-Dushman reaction system and Compute Fluid Design (CFD) simulation were conducted to
investigate the performance and the mechanism of this novel micromixer to
improve mixing efficiency. The research found that the best mixing efficiency
of this novel micromixer could be gained when the inner units divided fluid into
five pieces with a uniform volume.… More >
