The improved mass transfer characteristics of Taylor flow, make it an attractive flow pattern for carrying out gas-liquid operations in microchannels. Mass transfer characteristics are affected by the hydrodynamic properties of the flow such as thickness of the liquid film that surrounds the bubbles, bubble velocity, bubble and slug lengths, mixing, and flow circulation in the liquid slugs, and pressure drop. Experimental, theoretical, and modelling attempts to predict these properties are reviewed and relevant correlations are given. Most of these refer to capillaries but there are number of studies on square channels. In general, flow properties are well understood and predicted for fully formed Taylor bubbles in a developed flow and in clean systems, particularly in circular channels. However, the presence of impurities and their effect on interfacial tension cannot be fully accounted for. In addition, there is still uncertainty on the size of bubbles and slugs that form under certain operating and inlet conditions, while there is little information for channels with non-circular cross-sections.
