Abstract
A process and a device for continuous micromixing of two fluids is disclosed. The process and the device can be used in particular when micromixing plays an important role, for example, in the yield and characteristics of the products. This is the case for crystallization, precipitation and combustion reactions and for micelle assembly or polyelectrolyte complexation processes.
Claims4
A device for mixing comprising:
- an axisymmetric mixing chamber having an axis of symmetry;
- and
- a pair of fluid transmission conduits, the fluid transmission conduits comprising:
- a pair of inlet tubes wherein the inlet tubes are aligned along the axis of symmetry, wherein the pair of inlet tubes facilitate flow of two fluids to be mixed;
- and
- outlet tubes to facilitate flow of a resultant fluid mixture out of the axisymmetric mixing chamber, wherein the outlet tubes are aligned along the axis of symmetry and are arranged in an annular arrangement in relation to the pair of inlet tubes;
- wherein the axisymmetric mixing chamber comprises a spherical shaped wall comprising a collection passage within the spherical shaped wall of the axisymmetric mixing chamber to collect the resultant fluid mixture to deliver the resultant fluid mixture to the outlet tubes.
