Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mass transfer is the most important process in multiphase reactors. In many applications in the chemical industry, the mass transfer time determines the operational time of the multiphase reactors. The successful prediction of the volumetric liquid-phase mass transfer coefficients under various operating conditions is a challenging task. The effects of various parameters (including pressure and temperature) should be taken into account. The applicability of the classical mass transfer theories to newly proposed chemical reactors needs to be validated. A possible correction should be considered. The effects of turbulence and catalyst particles on the enhancement of mass transfer should be better characterized. Last but not least, the presence of a chemical reaction (especially a complex one) changes the mass transfer conditions and the bubble shape and behavior (in the case of bubbling) in the multiphase reactors and the process should be well modeled. Especially interesting are multiphase reactors operated with foaming systems (for instance aqueous alcohol solutions), electrolytes (salts), and surface active substances. Manuscripts dealing with these scientific problems are welcome in this new Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fluids is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
