67. Residence time was controlled by changing the length of R1 at a fixed flow rate.
68. Figures 2-4 was produced by Origin 7.5J (scientific graphing and analysis software of OriginLab).
69. Although it is difficult to determine the mixing time for the T-shaped mixers, it seems to be much less than 0.049 s at the present flow rate, because most of the starting material, p-dibromobenzene, was consumed within this time.
70. Microtube reactors made of stainless steel are quite effective for rapid heat transfer. Thermal decomposition of a radical initiator revealed that the temperature inside the microtube reactor is practically the same as the bath temperature even if highly exothermic radical polymerization takes place in the microtube reactor; see: T. Iwasaki, J. Yoshida, Macromokcuks 2005, 38, 1159.
