It is found that faster and finer mixing took place in the SHM and the chaotic mixing was more effective at locations closer to the grooves; in comparison, slower and coarser mixing occurred throughout the whole channel of the SGM. Subsequently, the concentration profile-based characterization method was demonstrated in hybrid floor-grooved micromixers to study the interaction of SGM and SHM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mi1010019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,5,17]],"date-time":"2010-05-17T11:13:22Z","timestamp":1274094802000},"page":"19-33","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Evaluation of Floor-grooved Micromixers using Concentration-channel Length Profiles"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"1","author":[{"given":"Yan","family":"Du","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario K1N 6N5, Canada"},{"name":"Institute for Microstructural Science, National Research Council Canada, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0R6, Canada"}]},{"given":"Zhiyi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Microstructural Science, National Research Council Canada, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0R6, Canada"}]},{"given":"ChaeHo","family":"Yim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario K1N 6N5, Canada"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Ottawa Laboratory Fallowfield, Ottawa, Ontario K2H 8P9, Canada"}]},{"given":"Xudong","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario K1N 6N5, Canada"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,5,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"151","article-title":"Adventures in inner space: Microflow systems for practical organic synthesis","volume":"2","author":"Fukuyama","year":"2008","journal-title":"Synlett"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"738","article-title":"Continuous processes for the production of pharmaceutical intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients","volume":"10","author":"LaPorte","year":"2007","journal-title":"Curr.
