A process and arrangement for producing a strong turbulence in at least one fluid or quasi-fluid medium wherein the medium flows along at least two confined and adjacent stream paths, the streams being rotated in opposite directions within their paths so as to cause the flow components thereof to be directed opposite one another, and the streams laterally graze one another within a discharge chamber as they begin to move outwardly of their paths. The streams are suddenly brought into contact with each other within the chamber whereupon intensive movements of the medium particles develop transversely to the flow directions along fictitious planes of contact between the two streams as the result of a delay in speed of the flow components of the streams, whereby a strong turbulence develops with a most intimate mixing of the two streams.
A process for producing a strong turbulence in at least one fluid or quasi-fluid medium including the steps of, guiding the medium for stream flow along at least two confined and adjacent stream paths without intermingling, rotating the two streams in opposite directions within their respective stream paths so as to cause the flow components of the two streams to be directed opposite to one another, and causing the streams to laterally graze each other within a discharge chamber as the streams begin to move outwardly of their paths, the streams being suddenly brought into contact with each other within the discharge chamber whereupon intensive movements of the medium particles develop transversely to the flow directions along fictitious planes of contact between the two streams as the result of a delay in speed of the flow components of the streams directed opposite one another, whereby a strong turbulence develops with a most intimate mixing of the two streams.
An arrangement for the production of a strong turbulence in at least one fluid or quasi-fluid medium comprising, at least one pair of adjacent flow channels for guiding the medium therealong in at least two stream paths without intermingling, means for rotating the streams in opposite directions within their respective flow chambers so that the flow components thereof are directed opposite one another, a discharge chamber being provided outwardly and adjacent the flow channels, the streams laterally grazing each other at the opening of the discharge chamber as they begin to move radially outwardly of their flow channels, the streams being suddenly brought into contact with each other within the chamber whereupon intensive movements of the medium particles develop transversely to the flow directions along fictitious planes of contact between the two streams as the result of a delay in speed of the flow components of the streams directed opposite one another, whereby a strong turbulence develops with a most intimate mixing of the two streams.
