Abstract
We describe flow visualization of gas-liquid flows in microchemical systems. The observations are summaries of new flow regime diagrams that provide new insight into the nature of flows (e.g., bubbly, slug, and channeling) and serve to guide the systematic design of gas-liquid microsystems. A case study of a dual-channel fluorination reactor illustrates the use of the flow regime understanding in establishing operating limits and the systematical design of multichannel devices.
