| 1. A reaction method comprising
flowing fluids through a microreactor,
coaxially laminating the fluids and causing the fluids to flow as laminar flows whose sections orthogonal to the co-axis are
annular, and
reacting the fluids by diffusing the fluids in a normal direction of contact interfaces of the fluids,
wherein the microreactor has a plurality of fluid supply routes in communication with one reaction channel as a multicylindrical
structure having a co-axis and causes a plurality of fluids to flow together in the reaction channel via the respective fluid
supply routes,
wherein among said plurality of laminated fluids, at least one fluid is a fluid not participating in the reaction of other
fluids and
wherein the cross-sectional thickness of said fluids participating in the reaction is varied by increasing or decreasing the
flow rate of said fluid not participating in the reaction.
