Abstract

Microstructured reactors (MSR) receive great attention for obtaining higher surface-to-volume ratios, higher mass and heat transfer rates, higher safety and other advantages over traditional reactors. Extremely good performance of MSR can be obtained due to generation of slug/segmented flow in liquid-liquid systems or Taylor flow in gas-liquid systems. High number of geometrical and process parameters creates great challenge for optimization of such a system. Numerical studies on this problem can improve overall knowledge about process and give opportunity to fast and precise designing of MSR.
