We introduce a predictive measure of micromixing termed quantitative overlap (QO). QO depends on the distribution of reactants throughout the reactor and can be calculated by solving equations of diffusion. We used a bimolecular reaction and a capillary microreactor to experimentally prove that QO is proportional to the product yield.
