Concept of meso-reactorD=50mm
d=5 mm
Scale- down
•Glass tube-easier to manufacture in small-scale compared with baffle-tube structure
•Easy to fit fit into laboratory fume cupboard
•Suitable for doing meso-scale pharmaceutical studies and small manufacturing of a few kilos of material

Conclusion
• Fluid mechanics and Residence Time Distribution (RTD) in meso-reactor has been established.
• Proof of concept reaction has been successfully tested using continuous meso-reactor.
• The oscillatory flow meso-reactor is viable for ‘meso-scale’ continuous flow multiphase reactor.
