Abstract
Over the last decades the increased use of microreactors in all types of industries is observed. This phenomenon is based on the advantages that the microreactor systems can achieve in term of better process control, more efficient heat transfer and handling of hazardous chemicals. During this time mathematical models that describe flow inside microchannels have emerged ranging from Navier-Stokes equations to simplified mathematical models for laminar and segmented flows. The aim of this review is to present current studies in term of mathematical models that are nowadays commonly used for the description of hydrodynamics, mass and heat transfer in microreactor systems.
