Figure 6.

(a) The design of the “T-junction” microdevice used for generating emulsions. All channels have a depth of 50 µm. The inset illustrates the generation of the water-in-oil emulsions in the device. The parameter “L” represents the length of a droplet; (b) Relationship between the droplet length and flow rate of oil and water in the two-dimensional “T-shape” junction microchannel. Q_d is a parameter of the dispersed phase (deionized water) flow rates. The curve fits were obtained using experimental data.
