| Research Abstract |
This research revealed the capability of changing the activation energy and kinetic parameters of chemical reactions using microchannel laminar flow. Results show that the enhancing effect of microfluidics in molecular collision accelerated the chemical reaction. Results of activation energy analysis confirmed that a change in the apparent activation energy occurred as the flow rate changed. Taken together, these results suggest that a microfluidic system is useful for performing rapid reactions by influencing the activation energy and frequency of molecular collision.
