Numerical and experimental study of flow and wall mass transfer rates in capillary driven flows in microfluidic channels

Micro-channels are believed to open up the prospect of precise control of fluid flow and chemical reactions. The capillary effect can be used to pump fluids in micro-channels and the flow generated can dissolve chemicals previously deposited on the walls of the channel. In this work, numerical and e...
