  • Principle and mechanism

    A static mixer consists of a set of immobile elements placed end-to-end in a tube. Each element has a particular rigid geometric structure that divides the flow and recombines it. In general, contact between fluids takes place thanks to the radial movement generated in mixers [J 3 861] . The interfacial area generated depends directly on the energy dissipated in the form of head loss. The fluids are circulated by a pump whose characteristics depend on the pressure drop in the static mixer and the desired flow...
