Abstract :
Transport for fluids at microengineered dimensions is dominated by laminar flow, diffusion, and surface tension. CFD modelling is required for design and testing of microreactors including contactors for liquid/liquid extractions. Interface positions, flow, and diffusive transfer have been modelled and results compared with experiment
