Transfer in Gas-Liquid Microstructured Devices

Mass transfer takes place from the gas phase to the liquid phase as well as in the reverse direction and chemical reactions may occur in the gas and/or in the liquid phase, respectively. The mass transfer performance of any gas-liquid reactor depends on two-phase flow patterns that define the interfacial area. 

The mass transfer performance of gas-hquid microstructured reactors has been investigated under different flow regimes, which are discussed in the following section.
