| dc.description.abstract | A microfluidic chip is a small device which deals with a very small amount of fluid. It has microscale channels. It has been used in different fields of science like engineering, physics, biochemistry, etc. A droplet generator is a microfluidic device which is capable of generating small droplets which is used in different applications like drug delivery, cell trapping and gene analysis. Temperature control is an essential part of droplet generation, and it affects the generation of droplets. This project proposes a microfluidic chip design (HC BAR Chip) with a uniform distribution of temperature with no embedded heating equipment. The chip is capable of creating heating and cooling zones unaffected by each other with a flow-focusing droplet generation method. CAD software like Solidworks is used to design and COMSOL Multiphysics® software for the analysis. | |
