Vortex mixers and associated methods, systems, and apparatuses thereof

A system, comprising:

• a first vortex mixer, the first vortex mixer comprising:
• a first vortex mixing chamber having a first wall, a second wall, and a side wall connecting the first wall and the second wall;
• at least two primary inlet ports configured along the side wall, each primary inlet port having a primary inlet channel connected thereto, the at least two primary inlet ports approximately equally spaced around the first vortex mixing chamber and configured tangentially to the first vortex mixing chamber;
• a secondary inlet port configured approximately at a radial center of the first wall having a secondary inlet channel connected thereto;
• and
• an exit port having an exit channel connected thereto, said exit port configured approximately at a radial center of the second wall, the exit channel extending from the exit port and away from the first vortex mixing chamber;
• a splitter having an inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet, the first outlet connected to a first of the at least two primary inlet ports of the first vortex mixer, and the second outlet connected to a second of the at least two primary inlet ports of the first vortex mixer;
• and
• a second vortex mixer, the second vortex mixer comprising:
• a second vortex mixing chamber having a first wall, a second wall, and a side wall connecting the first wall and the second wall;
• four inlet ports configured along the side wall, each inlet port having an inlet channel connected thereto, the four inlet ports approximately equally spaced around the second vortex mixing chamber and configured tangentially to the second vortex mixing chamber;
• and
• an exit port having an exit channel connected thereto, the exit port configured approximately at a radial center of the second wall, the exit channel extending from the exit port away from the second vortex mixing chamber;
• wherein the splitter is configured at an end of the exit channel extending from the second vortex mixer exit port.

A mixing method comprising:

• receiving, along a curved sidewall of a first vortex mixing chamber and from at least two inlet ports, a first fluid;
• receiving, along the curved sidewall of the first vortex mixing chamber and from at least two inlet ports, a second fluid;
• mixing the first fluid and the second fluid in the first vortex mixing chamber to form a first outflow fluid;
• outflowing the first outflow fluid into a first exit channel;
• splitting the first outflow fluid into at least two channels via a splitter;
• receiving, along a curved sidewall of a second vortex mixing chamber, the first outflow fluid from at least two inlet ports connected to the at least two channels;
• receiving, at an additional inlet port configured approximately at a radial center of a first wall of the second vortex mixing chamber, a third fluid;
• mixing the outflow fluid and the third fluid in the second vortex mixing chamber to form a second outflow fluid;
• and
• outflowing the second outflow fluid into a second exit channel.
