Abstract

The Taylor flow and bubbly flow in gas-liquid two phase systems in microchannels have the advantages of uniform bubble size

narrow residence time distribution

easy control

high specific surface area

and so on. These advantages facilitate them various applications and important implications. Based on the bubble dissolution and mass transfer process during Taylor flow and bubbly flow

this paper systematically reviews the research progress of bubble dissolution

mass transfer process and mass transfer/dissolution model at microscale

and introduces the above flow pattern in reaction or process. Finally

an outlook is given for further research directions in this field.
