The surface of the PDMS cover plate is provided with a liquid channel and a gas channel for the flow of the liquid-liquid two-phase fluid. The gas channel is respectively connected with the liquid channels at the two end sides to form a double-T-shaped micro-channel structure, liquid and gas with certain flow rates respectively enter the liquid channel and the gas channel from the corresponding liquid inlet and gas inlet and are gathered at the intersection of the double-T-shaped structure, and according to the flow focusing principle, the gas at the intersection of the T-shaped structure can form micro bubbles under the shearing action of the liquid. The uniformly generated micro bubbles form micro bubble flow, flow along the liquid channels on two sides, enter the micro bubble coalescence area cavity through the micro bubble flow outlet and are subjected to coalescence phenomena in the area. And finally, enabling the coalesced bubbles to flow out of the chip through a gas-liquid mixture outlet.

Detailed Description
The following further describes embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings.
Referring to fig. 1-3, a microfluidic chip for analyzing the coalescence effect of micro-bubbles according to the present invention comprises a cover plate 1 and a substrate 2, the surfaces of which are bonded and connected to each other;
the surface of the cover plate 1, which is attached to the substrate 2, is provided with two mutually parallel liquid channels 101, a gas channel 102 connected between the two liquid channels 101, and a micro-bubble coalescence cavity 105 communicated with one ends of the two liquid channels 101, and the communication part of the liquid channels 101 and the micro-bubble coalescence cavity 105 is used as a micro-bubble outlet 106; the other ends of the two liquid channels 101 are communicated; the liquid channel 101 is provided with a liquid inlet 103 which is vertical and penetrates through the cover plate 1, the gas channel 102 is provided with a gas inlet 104 which is vertical and penetrates through the cover plate 1, and the side of the micro bubble coalescence cavity 105, which is opposite to the micro bubble outlet 106, is provided with a gas-liquid mixture outlet 107 which is vertical and penetrates through the cover plate 1.
The gas inlet 104 is located at the middle position of the gas channel 102; the liquid inlet 103 is located at an intermediate position where the two liquid passages 101 communicate.
The liquid channel 101 and the gas channel 102 are both of a groove structure.

The substrate 2 is a transparent structure.
The substrate 2 is a glass material.
The cover sheet 1 is made of polydimethylsiloxane.
In the test process of using the chip to perform the observation of the coalescence phenomenon of the micro-bubbles, a micro-syringe pump (704500 Harvard Apparatus) is used to introduce Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) solution with certain concentration and flow rate into the liquid channel 101 through the liquid inlet 103, and the flow rate of the liquid is continuously adjusted through the micro-syringe pump; a common nitrogen cylinder is connected with a secondary air pressure adjusting device, air is introduced into the air channel 102 through the air inlet 104, and the air pressure is adjusted through the air pressure adjusting device. When the liquid flow and the gas pressure reach a certain proportion range, micro-bubbles can be generated at the intersection of the double-T-shaped structure due to the flow focusing effect of the gas-liquid two-phase fluid flowing along the vertical direction.
