| dc.description.abstract | Microfluidics is a fast growing field in which the manipulation of bubbles in liquid phase is of utmost importance. In this paper, the absorption of spherical bubbles in a square microchannel is investigated for a bubbly flow. Numerical simulations of the gas-liquid two-phase flow and the mass transfer around spherical bubbles in a square microchannel are carried out. Correlations are established for the bubble velocity and the mass transfer rate. A model for the dissolution of spherical bubbles along a square microchannel is proposed in the case of the bubbly flow regime and validated using existing experimental data. This model can be used, for instance, for designing microabsorbers for lab-on-a-chip applications. | en_US |
