Structural Design and Experimental Study of AOYKC Micromixer Based on Taguchi Orthogonal Test

Passive micromixers can be used in a wide range of chemical applications for reagent preparation as well as chemical analysis. To investigate a micromixer with high performance under various Re conditions, based on the research of previous scientists, we hereby parameterize three influential factors on the structural design of the micromixer. In this study, we chose five distinct level values from a set of three influential factors of the micromixer, based on the results of a one-way impact analysis to ascertain their degree of influence. For five different Re cases, the Taguchi orthogonal test was performed using the selected five-level values, the fluid mixing efficiency was examined numerically, and we used the orthogonal table L2556. Finally, a set of optimization parameters was selected. An optimized micromixer structural model with high mixing efficiency under different Re conditions has been achieved. The degree of stirring of the optimized micromixer and the comparison curves before and after the optimization were also analyzed. We have also manufactured and tested the micromixer of this design. The simulation results show that the mixing efficiency of “the After Optimized Y-shaped channel Koch fractal Cesàro construction” micromixer (AOYKC) designs in this paper is increased by 15.99%, 21.19%, 19.34%, 11.41%, and 0.04% at Re = 0.1, 1, 10, 20, and 100.
