The
development of low-volume continuous processes for the pharmaceutical
industry requires a greater understanding of mixing in microreactors.
In this paper, numerous commercially available micromixers are evaluated
using the Villermaux–Dushman reaction scheme and the interaction
by exchange with the mean (IEM) mixing model to quantify the mixing
time. The work presents the mixing times as a function of flow rate
and energy dissipation for mixers including T-mixers, Ehrfeld Mikrotechnik
BTS micromixers, and Syrris Asia microchips.
