Abstract
This work presents the numerical investigation of three different microfluidics micromixer designs integrated with screw element and complex shape micropillar structure as a passive element. For this purpose, COMSOL Mul-tiphysics with two physics such as laminar flow and transport diluted species to examine the fluid flow and mixing behavior inside a microchannel. The results revealed that the third micromixer design integrated with screw element and complex shape micropillar structures deliver a best mixing efficiency of 99.95% at Reynold numbers 1. In addition, the pressure drop from inlet to outlet is also examined that is 31.26502 Pa. The findings obtained from this study provide deep insights to examine the optimal micromixer design with larger mixing performance and lower pressure drop.
