This paper presents the results of modeling of a microreactor with three inputs geometry (or crow's-feet), in relation to distributions of velocities and concentrations. The objective of this work is the study of this kind of geometry with relation to fluid dynamics behavior, improving the knowledge of microfluidics and microreactors projects. These numerical responses allow conclusions about the behavior of the mixture, in particular how fast it becomes homogeneous and therefore how smaller the required length of the main channel (in this case approximately 3 mm). This factor is important for the construction of the device on ceramic, since the optimization of the geometry means lower production costs of the microreactor.
