Incorporative Mixing in Microreactors: Influence on Reactions and Importance of Inlet Designation

Shusaku Asano, Assistant Professor, Kyushu University

We studied the mixing in a microreactor considering fluid division and incorporation. Incorporative mixing occurs when a divided feed stream is taken into another stream. Reaction selectivity is sensitive to incorporative mixing. Thus, the change in the feed orientation of inlets significantly changes the reaction outcome.
