Abstract:Split‐and‐recombine (SAR) microreactor is an advanced reactor for chemical process intensification. Bubble flow in the SAR microchannel is an important phenomenon that affects reaction efficiency, however drew little attention before. This study aims to explore the underlying mechanisms of bubble splitting, retraction, and breakup behaviors in a compact SAR microchannel. Two breakup flow patterns, unilateral flow and unilateral alternate flow were identified with symmetric or asymmetric splitting, respectively… Show more
