he research on micro°uidic droplet size prediction has been extensive and fruitful, while the droplet
deforming process has been seldom studied. In this paper, a frying-oil-assessing micro°uidic device was designed
to study the droplet deforming and recovering processes, which were dominated by channel geometry, °ow rates,
sheath °ow viscosity and interfacial tension of the two phases. Theoretical expressions of the deforming process
and its extreme value were obtained for the ˉrst time, supported by simulation and experiments. Theoretical,
simulation and experimental results indicated that the steady-state droplet length could be a useful parameter for
frying oil assessment.
