This article reviews acoustic microfluidics: the use of acoustic fields, principally ultrasonics,
for application in microfluidics. Although acoustics is a classical field, its promising, and …

Ultrasonic small scale flow reactors have found increasing popularity among researchers as
they serve as a very useful platform for studying and controlling ultrasound mechanisms and …

With the fast development of acoustic and multiphase microfluidics in recent years,
oscillating bubbles have drawn more-and-more attention due to their great potential in …

The study of the interaction of bubbles with shock waves and ultrasound is sometimes
termed 'acoustic cavitation'. It is of importance in many biomedical applications where sound …

Traditionally, chemical industries including pharmaceuticals and food industries rely on
batch or semi-continuous operations for the production of variety of chemicals. However …

A compact snapshot of the current convergence of novel developments relevant to chemical
engineering is given. Process intensification concepts are analysed through the lens of …

Intensification of liquid mixing was investigated in domestic fabricated ultrasonic
microreactors. Under the ultrasonic field, cavitation bubbles were generated, which undergo …

Microfluidics enable the manipulation of chemical reactions using very small amounts of
fluid, in channels with dimensions of tens to hundreds of micrometers; so-called …

Ultrasonic microreactors were used to intensify gas‐liquid mass‐transfer process and study
the intensification mechanism. Fierce surface wave oscillation with different modes was …

The effects of ultrasound on the hydrodynamic and mass transfer behaviors of immiscible
liquid–liquid two‐phase flow was investigated in a domestic ultrasonic microreactor. Under …
