Features: This book is the Chinese translation of "Microreactors—New Technology for Modern Chemistry" published by WILEY-VCH. It first introduces the modern manufacturing technology of microreactors, then describes the flow and mixing characteristics in micromixers, the flow and heat transfer characteristics in microheat exchangers, and the properties of microextraction devices. It also provides a detailed introduction to the transport and reaction characteristics of multiphase systems (liquid-liquid, gas-gas, gas-liquid) in microreactors. On this basis, it introduces the application of microsystems in the partial oxidation of methane to syngas, as well as the rapid evaluation of the catalytic activity of various catalysts, proving the unparalleled superiority of microreactors over traditional devices. Finally, it discusses the feasibility of microchemical plants. The content of the book includes both fundamental theoretical analysis and practical applications in chemical engineering, making it rich and detailed while reflecting the latest advancements in microreactors. The illustrations in the book are exquisite and intuitive, enhancing readability. This book can serve as both a textbook and supplementary reading for senior undergraduate and graduate students in related disciplines, as well as a reference for researchers in relevant fields and those interested in microreactor systems. The book first introduces the modern manufacturing technology of microreactors, then describes the flow and mixing characteristics in micromixers, the flow and heat transfer characteristics in microheat exchangers, and the properties of microextraction devices, etc.
