  • Mass transfer device and system generating vortices for particle suspension, concentration, and transport
    Patent number: 9480951
    Abstract: A mass transfer device includes a wall structure having a first surface and a second surface. The wall structure has slots extending there through between the first and second surfaces. Each slot has a width, a length and a height. For purposes of mass transfer applications to include cross-flow fluid filtering, the length is at least approximately 3 times the width for each of the slots, and a width-to-height ratio for each of the slots is less than approximately 5.
    Type: Grant
