Question
The mixing of liquids is critical in microfluidic analytical systems and is often taking place in
Y-shaped junctions as seen in Figure Q4b. The inlets are 50 μm wide and 50 µm high, and
the outlet is 50 μm wide and 50 μm high. The aim of the device is to analyse IgG with a
diffusion coefficient of 4-10 cm²-s¹. Determine the shortest length of the channel to ensure
complete mixing when the flowrate in each of the inlet channels is 1 µl/h. [4]
