Over the last ten to fifteen years, microreaction technology has become of increased interest
to both academics and industrialists for intensification of multiphase processes. Amongst the …

The improved mass transfer characteristics of Taylor flow, make it an attractive flow pattern
for carrying out gas—liquid operations in microchannels. Mass transfer characteristics are …

Over the past few decades an enormous interest in two-phase flow in microchannels has
developed because of their application in a wide range of new technologies, ranging from …

Numerical studies on the hydrodynamic and heat transfer characteristics of two-phase flows
in small tubes and channels are reviewed. These flows are non-boiling gas–liquid and liquid …

Experimental observations of dropwise condensation of water vapor on a chemically
textured surface of glass and its detailed computer simulation are presented. Experiments …

Global thermal performance modeling of Pulsating Heat Pipes (PHPs) requires local, spatio-
temporally coupled, flow and heat transfer information during the characteristic, self …

Slug flow behavior and characteristics have been studied in a rectangular microchannel with
Y-junction. Two simple bubble shape models are proposed to calculate the film thickness …

Gas–liquid two-phase flow in a microfluidic T-junction with nearly square microchannels of
113μm hydraulic diameter was investigated experimentally and numerically. Air and water …

Precise prediction of the gas–liquid slug flow is crucial for proper design and operation at
various industrial processes. This paper provides a comprehensive review of published …

Previous studies on heat and mass transfer in the Taylor flow regime in microchannels have
shown the transport (heat/mass) rates to be dependent on the length of the liquid slug. In …
