Abstract
A microreactor includes: a reaction passage to flow a fluid as a reaction object; and a medium passage provided in parallel with the reaction passage to flow a heat medium to exchange heat with the fluid in the reaction passage. A cross-sectional area of the medium passage adjacent to a location of the reaction passage where any of heat generation and heat absorption associated with a reaction of the fluid is relatively large is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the medium passage adjacent to a location of the reaction passage where any of the heat generation and the heat absorption associated with the reaction of the fluid is relatively small.
