Calculation and Verification of the Behaviour of Vertical Fluid Flow Using the Multifunctional Fluid Filter

Abstract

The vertical fluid flow operation and multifunctional fluid filter for the operation were proposed. We calculated the flow behaviour by FLUENT of the CFD software. The CFD analysis estimated the threshold pressure of flow transmission and efficiency of mixing and the results indicated that the vertical liquid transportation is useful and the good multi function as channel , valve , mixer and micro reactor of the filter we proposed. So we fabricated the filter by SR lithography and performed the flow transmission experiment. As the result, the calculated threshold pressure configurate the measured pressure. We demonstrated ring-opening reaction of the Catechol by Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase as the catalyst to evaluate the performance of mixing. It shows that the filter mixes the fluid efficiently and is enough to mix at five times transportation.
