The disclosed invention relates to a process, comprising: conducting unit operations in at least two process zones in a process micro channel to treat and/or form a non-Newtonian fluid, a different unit operation being conducted in each process zone; and applying an effective amount of shear stress to the non-Newtonian fluid to reduce the viscosity of the non-Newtonian fluid in each process zone, the average shear rate in one process zone differing from the average shear rate in another process zone by a factor of at least about 1.2. The shear stress may be applied to the non-Newtonian fluid by flowing it through a microchannel having a converging cross-sectional area. The shear stress may also be applied by flowing the said fluid in contact with microchannel surface features, structures, obstructions or coatings.
L'invention concerne un traitement, comprenant : la réalisation d'opérations unitaires dans au moins deux zones de traitement dans un microcanal de traitement afin de traiter et/ou de former un fluide non-newtonien, une opération unitaire différente étant réalisée dans chaque zone de traitement; et l'application d'un niveau suffisant de contrainte de cisaillement au fluide non-newtonien pour réduire sa viscosité dans chaque zone de traitement, la contrainte de cisaillement moyenne dans une zone de traitement étant différente de la contrainte de cisaillement moyenne dans une autre zone de traitement par un facteur supérieur ou égal à environ 1,2.
