Membrane-free microseparators with specifically positioned internal structures subjecting fluids to a capillary pressure gradient have been previously shown to enable efficient gas-liquid separation. Here we present initial studies on the model-based design of a liquid-liquid microseparator with pillars of various diameters between two plates. For the optimization of in silico separator performance, mesoscopic lattice-Boltzmann modeling was used. Simulation results at various conditions revealed the possibility to improve the separation of two liquids by changing the geometrical characteristics of the microseparator.</dc:description><dc:date>2020</dc:date><dc:date>2021-05-17 10:16:32</dc:date><dc:type>Članek v reviji</dc:type><dc:identifier>127089</dc:identifier><dc:language>sl</dc:language></rdf:Description></rdf:RDF>
