Abstract
For the evaluation, classification and the later basis for process and equipment design of microfluidic mixers, we present a comparison of two experimental methods, their mode of analysis and a comparison of the analytic results. We acquire the mixing states at multiple locations along a mixer and thereby reduce the error due to local fluctuations. Data was acquired for a range of Reynolds numbers between 0.5 and 400 for the two different model mixing processes. The different model mixing processes require different data processing. Despite the difference in the acquired data and the analyses, we show in a comparison that the evaluation methods lead to comparable results. The comparability is albeit limited by an upper Reynolds number boundary at which the results diverge.
