Abstract:
1. A reactor comprising; a cylindrically-shaped mixing channel and plurality of inlet passages provided on the mixing channel each of the plurality of inlet passages being placed along a tangential direction of a peripheral wall of the cylindrically-shaped mixing channel and at an angle with respect to each other when being viewed from a direction of a central axis of the mixing channel to achieve a swirling flow therein so as to facilitate miscibility of a plurality of fluids introduced by the plurality of inlet passages, wherein the plurality of inlet passages are configured to introduce a plurality of fluids containing different kinds of substances into the mixing channel in a predetermined periodic sequence with respect to the kind of substance along the tangential direction of the peripheral wall of the cylindrically-shaped mixing channel to achieve a multi-layered flow therein so as to facilitate the miscibility of the plurality of fluids, and wherein the plurality of inlet passages are configured to provide a turbulent flow condition in the mixing channel so as to facilitate the miscibility of the plurality of fluids.
