    Design and experimental study of a piezoelectrically driven spiral microchannel mixer

    • 摘要: 为提高微通道混合器的混合效率,需要提升驱动源的输出压力以克服高阻力微通道的压降。本文设计了一种以蓄能式压电泵为驱动源、内含翼型挡体螺旋混合微通道的压电驱动微混合器。首先,理论分析了储能气罐的稳压机理,推导了气罐内气体压力与液位高度的关系式;其次,试验研究了蓄能式压电泵和螺旋微通道混合器的输出性能;最后,以BaSO4共沉淀反应为表征体系,通过对比不同混合方式下的混合效果,验证压电驱动螺旋微通道混合器的混合性能。结果表明:蓄能式压电泵的最大输出背压为10021 Pa,较无气罐鸭嘴阀压电泵提高92%;利用该混合器制备的BaSO4颗粒粒径为200~300 nm,分散均匀,能谱显示Ba2+信号最强且Na+残留最低。本研究表明:集成气罐的蓄能式压电泵可使输出背压从5207 Pa提升至10021 Pa,显著提高了压电泵对高阻力微通道的驱动能力;压电驱动与螺旋翼型挡体结构的协同作用,对混合效率的提升贡献大于单纯改变流道结构。本研究可为纳米材料的快速制备提供可靠的技术支撑。

       

      Abstract: To improve the mixing efficiency of microchannel mixers, it is necessary to increase the output pressure of the driving source to overcome the pressure drop in high-resistance microchannels. In this paper, a piezoelectric-driven micromixer is proposed, which uses an energy-storage piezoelectric pump as the driving source and incorporates a spiral mixing microchannel with airfoil baffles. First, the pressure stabilization mechanism of the energy-storage gas tank is theoretically analyzed, and the relationship between the gas pressure and the liquid level height in the tank is derived. Second, the output performance of the energy-storage piezoelectric pump and the spiral microchannel mixer is experimentally investigated. Finally, the BaSO4 coprecipitation reaction is used as the characterization system, and the mixing performance of the piezoelectric-driven helical microchannel mixer is verified by comparing the mixing effects under different mixing modes. The results show that the maximum output back pressure of the energy-storage piezoelectric pump reaches 10021 Pa, which is 92% higher than that of the duckbill-valve piezoelectric pump without a gas tank. The BaSO4 particles prepared by the proposed mixer have particle sizes of 200~300 nm and are uniformly dispersed. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy indicates the strongest Ba2+ signal and the lowest Na+ residue. This study demonstrates that integrating the gas tank into the energy-storage piezoelectric pump increases the output back pressure from 5207 Pa to 10021 Pa, significantly improving the pump’s ability to drive high-resistance microchannels. Moreover, the synergistic effect of the piezoelectric drive and the spiral airfoil baffle structure contributes more to the improvement of mixing efficiency than merely changing the channel geometry. This study can provide reliable technical support for the rapid preparation of nanomaterials.
