Conditions for fluid separations in microchannels, capillary-driven fluid separations, and laminated devices capable of separating fluids
Abstract
Methods of separating fluids using capillary forces and/or improved conditions for are disclosed. The improved methods may include control of the ratio of gas and liquid Reynolds numbers relative to the Suratman number. Also disclosed are wick-containing, laminated devices that are capable of separating fluids.
