Comprehensive analysis on Y-junctions and T-junction microchannels can lead to the conclusion that droplet size is bigger and the generation cycle is longer when the absolute angle increases.
(1) It is found that droplets generated in anti-Y-junctions
had smaller sizes and shorter generation cycles com-
pared with those in Y-junctions under the same experi-
mental conditions, and the vortex appearing in contin-
uous phase in anti-Y-junctions is one of the key factors
that lead to the difference. Smaller droplets can be
obtained with the best effect on emulsifying and mixing
through anti-Y-junction microchannels.
(2) Comprehensive analysis on Y-junctions and anti-Y-
junction microchannels can lead to the conclusion
that droplet size is bigger and the generation cycle is
longer when the absolute angle value of the intersec-
tion between continuous and dispersed phases (i.e., the
angle between main channel and continuous phase or
dispersed phase channel) increases.
(3) DropletssizeisinfluencedbyY-angle,whichvarieswith
the channel depth in Y-junctions, but Y-angle always
affects the droplet generation cycle, that is, the larger
the Y-angle, the longer the generation cycle. However
a smaller height-width ratio would enhance the impact
of the two immiscible liquids intersection angle on the
droplet generation cycle in Y-junction microchannels.
(4) Partial differences exist in the velocity at the two
immiscible liquids interface because of the influence of
channel depth, which leads to different droplets sizes
and formation cycles. When the microchannel depth
decreases, the droplet size is significantly reduced and
its generation period becomes larger.
