Disclosed is a mixing apparatus where a fluid is progressing from an Inlet tubing to an Outlet tubing. Every segment of the liquid is part by part transferred to the Outlet channel via numerous restrictor channels. The distances between the restrictor channels determine a dispersion pattern for any segment of the flow, progressing from the inlet chamber in the form of a reservoir channel to the Outlet. The nearer the outlet channels are placed one to another, the higher is the permeability to the outlet collector at the respective location. Delaying partial flows of the fluid with different flow delays and providing different flow volumes for the partial flows results in a predetermined flow distribution function thus determining a dispersion pattern. This allows for a continuous dispersion of a fluid property which is intended to be mixed, in accordance with a predefined fluid distribution function.
