Abstract
A fluid transfer device transfers a fluid from a first fluid channel with a first cross-sectional area into a second fluid channel with a second cross-sectional area, larger than the first cross-sectional area. The fluid transfer device includes a fluid inlet interface at which the fluid is transferable from the first fluid channel into the fluid transfer device; an inlet branch configured to split the fluid from the first fluid channel into multiple inlet branch channels; multiple outlet branches, each of which is configured to split the fluid from the inlet branch channels into respective outlet branch channels; and a fluid outlet interface configured to transfer the fluid in the outlet branch channels into the second fluid channel. The inlet and output branches and branch channels are disposed such that the fluid exits from the fluid outlet interface, distributed in a two-dimensional manner across the second cross-sectional area.
