Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a target reactor having a flow-channel system in which a plurality of reactants continuously flowing into said target reactor are mixed and interconvert to form a target volumetric flow-rate (f 2 ) of a product continuously flowing out of said target reactor, the method comprising the steps of: determining a target volumetric flow-rate (f providing a standard reactor designed to produce the same product and having the same flow-channel system as the target reactor, the standard reactor defining a standard volumetric flow-rate f determining the smallest hydraulic diameter (d providing at least one process plate; forming a sub-flow-channel system in said process plate; and assembling said process plate with at least one other component to form the target reactor, whereby said sub-flow-channel system of said process plate forms at least a part of a flow-channel system of the target reactor, the flow-channel system having a length and a plurality of hydraulic diameters, one of said plurality of hydraulic diameters being a smallest hydraulic diameter (d  for a turbulent or transitional turbulent flow, wherein n=0 or is a non-integer number with 1>n>0, between the corresponding smallest hydraulic diameter (d
