Description
Summary:This paper presents the results of testing microfluidic technology for oil displacement problems using cheap and quickly manufactured chips made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) by milling. The oil displacement process from a microfluidic chip simulating a homogeneous porous medium is studied. The microfluidic chip was manufactured by milling of polymethylmethacrylate. The size of the microchannels was 200 microns. The paper presents the results of visualization and microscopy of the oil displacement process. The effect of water flow on the efficiency of oil displacement from the microfluidic chip was studied.
