Abstract
This paper proposes a design method to provide uniform flow in a microreactor. Uniform momentum approach is adopted with 10 pillars before and after the chamber having a different slope inlet channel. The slope and number of pillars are two factors to make a uniform flow in the microreactor, covering the hexagonal gold layer. The CFD analysis about the designed microreactor is carried out and the velocity vector field measurements are made in the fabricated microreactor by micro PIV technique. The uniformity of microreactor flow was confirmed by both numerical simulation and experimental results.
