A reactor defining first and second flow channels within the reactor, wherein the first flow channels are for fluids that undergo an exothermic reaction and contain a catalyst for the exothermic reaction and wherein the second flow channels are for a heat-removing fluid. Further wherein the channels at each end of the reactor are such that no heat is generated within them, the channels in which no heat is generated being non-flow channels which are blocked off at one or both of their ends so no fluids flow through those channels. |
