Provided is a reactor which makes it possible to increase the uniformity of mixing of the reactants therein. The reactor is provided with a flow path structure having internal reactant flow passages including: a first introduction passage for the introduction of a first reactant, a second introduction passage for the introduction of a second reactant, a merging passage for causing the first reactant flowing through the first introduction passage to merge with the second reactant flowing through the second introduction passage, and a reaction passage for causing the two reactants which were merged in the merging passage to react with each other while the reactants are flowing. A first introduction groove constituting part of the first introduction passage and a second introduction groove constituting part of the second introduction passage are formed in a first surface of the base of the flow path structure of the reactor, while a reaction groove constituting part of the reaction passage is formed in a second surface of the base. A merging hole constituting part of the merging passage runs from the first surface of the base to the second surface thereof, and the merging hole constitutes the end point of the common part of the first introduction groove and of the second introduction groove, and also the starting point of the reaction groove. The downstream end of the first introduction groove and the downstream end of the second introduction groove merge at the merging hole from different directions on the first surface of the base. |
