The neural network inputs are fluid properties and geometries of 3D glass capillary devices. For water-in-oil single emulsions, the mean-squared error at the end of 100 epochs for training and validation converged to 7.2% and 7.4%, respectively. The deep machine learning model provides an alternative method of predicting droplet size without the need for rigorous theory. Moreover, the model can be altered to predict other microfluidic parameters or properties and could be extended to other fluids as well.enPlan Bs (project-based master's degrees)Master of ScienceMaster of Science in PhysicsDepartment of Physics and AstronomySwenson College of Science and EngineeringUniversity of Minnesota DuluthPredicting Microfluidic Droplet Diameters in Glass Capillary Devices Using Machine LearningScholarly Text or Essay
