The disclosed invention relates to a process for making a multiphase
mixture, comprising: flowing a first fluid stream through a process
microchannel, the first fluid stream comprising at least one liquid
and/or at least one gas, the process microchannel having an apertured
section; flowing a second fluid stream through the apertured section into
the process microchannel in contact with the first fluid stream to form
the multiphase mixture, the second fluid stream comprising at least one
gas and/or at least one microbody-forming material, the first fluid
stream forming a continuous phase in the multiphase mixture, the second
fluid stream forming a discontinuous phase dispersed in the continuous
phase.
