The influence of microwave heating of liquids in a microreactor using beam-type source on the intensity of the current chemical process is considered. It is shown that а non-uniform heating of the reagents over the microreactor length stimulates the development of the thermal capillary convection phenomenon and substantially accelerates the chemical process. A numerical evaluation of maximal velocities of the thermal capillary motion developed at the interface of contacting liquids depending on the specific power of internal heat sources and the longitudinal temperature gradient is given.
Keywords: microreactor, chemical process, radiation chamber, microwave heating, thermocapillary convection.
