Abstract: A gas stream vortex mixing system for mixing gas is provided. The gas stream vortex mixing system includes a duct provided with an outer surface defining an interior passageway operable for communicating a gas. The gas stream vortex mixing system further includes at least one nozzle and at least one wing. The wing is disposed within the interior passageway of the duct and is operable for generating at least one vortex. The nozzle is disposed within the interior passageway of the duct. The nozzle is operable to discharge a mixture into the interior passageway of the duct. The present invention provides a method of mixing gas by creating a predictable and ordered vorticity. The method includes providing the gas stream vortex mixing system and providing a supply of combustion gas into the interior passageway of the duct such that the combustion gas passes about at least one of the wings of the gas stream vortex mixing system generating a vortex.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for blending and supplying process materials. The method and apparatus are particularly applicable to the blending of ultra-high purity chemicals, the blending of abrasive slurries with other chemicals for the polishing of semiconductor wafers, and high-accuracy blending of chemicals. The apparatus may include a dispensing subsystem that supplies process materials to a mixing subsystem where they are blended with a static mixer. The method may include supplying process materials with a dispensing subsystem and blending the process materials in a static mixer.

Abstract: A static mixer for a viscous liquid for use in a chemical mechanical polishing process is provided. The static mixer is constructed of an elongated cylindrical tank, an elongated cylindrical mixing sleeve having a multiplicity of mixing apertures therethrough situated inside the tank, a plurality of curvilinear feed tubes situated at a top of the tank cavity for feeding a mixture of a viscous liquid and a solvent into the tank cavity, a spiral plate mounted on the interior surface of the tank wall extending continuously from a top wall to a bottom wall of the tank cavity, and an outlet tube that is situated at the bottom of the tank cavity inside the mixing sleeve for outputting a mixture.

Abstract: A method for mixing one or more fluid streams or for mixing solid particles with one or more fluid streams involves flowing the materials to be mixed through a static fluid mixer. The mixer includes an elongated fluid flow conduit having a centrally located longitudinally extending axis and an inner generally cylindrical wall extending around said axis and defining a fluid flow path within the conduit which extends along the central axis of the conduit. The mixer also includes at least two circumferentially offset internal baffle members designed to create countery-rotating vortices in fluids passing through the conduit. The first baffle is in the form of an elongated inclined plate positioned in said fluid flow path at a first location in said conduit. This baffle plate has an upstream end, a downstream end and a longitudinal axis.

Abstract: The mixing element (2) is provided for a flange transition (10) in a pipeline (1) and can be mounted between two flanges (11, 12) of the pipeline. It comprises a mixing-active structure (25) which is formed by one or two vanes (25a, 25b) within a ring (20). Two mutually inclined planes (21, 22) can be defined, with the one vane being arranged on the one plane or the two vanes being arranged on the two planes. The two planes intersect at a crossing axis (23). Closed sub-surfaces (52, 51′) as well as open pieces of surface (51, 520, 521, 522) of the vanes form a surface pattern (5) which is formed asymmetrically with respect to the crossing axis.

Abstract: A desuperheater for reducing the superheated state of steam located within a cylindrically-shaped conduit. The desuperheater injects water droplets counter to the direction of moving superheated steam within the conduit. Downstream of the water droplet outlet is a biscuit which is aligned along the longitudinal axis of the conduit to provide a series of separate mixing elements all inducing the same rotational sign to fluids passing therethrough.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dosing device, or mixing device for mixing, in a continuous process, a flowing primary liquid with one or more added secondary liquids of a smaller quantity for obtaining a flowing liquid mixture at a permanent uniform mixing ratio of the mixed liquids.

Abstract: A mixer is used for producing multi-component pastes at a mixing ratio other than 1:1. A deviating channel 20 is provided between the inlet opening 16 for the component of the larger volume proportion and the mixing chamber, to delay the feed of this component with respect to the other component. The presence of this deviating channel 20 causes all components to enter the mixing chamber simultaneously, thereby obtaining a paste which has the desired mixing ratio from the start.

Abstract: A micromixer having a mixing chamber for mixing two fluids. The mixing chamber has a first inlet arrangement for the supply of a first fluid and a second inlet arrangement for the supply of a second fluid. The mixing chamber includes a wall along which the first fluid flows, and the second inlet arrangement has at least one opening in the wall. A projection is located on the wall adjacent to the opening and extending into the mixing chamber so that the first fluid flows around the projection and builds a boundary layer with the second fluid. Mixing takes place by diffusion through the boundary layer.

Abstract: A mixing device for fluids, comprising a column within which there is an internal core, a space between the column and core defining a channel for the flow of the fluids, the surface of the column facing the core having fluid guide elements which impart helical flow in a first twist direction upon a fluid flowing along the channel, the surface of the core having fluid guide elements thereon which impart helical flow in an opposite twist direction upon the fluid. On part of the channel, the helical flow imparted to the fluid is predominantly in the twist direction of the elements on the core and on a part of the channel upstream or downstream of this part the helical flow imparted to the fluid is predominantly in the twist direction of the elements on the column.

Abstract: A fluid mixing device includes a nozzle having a first element mounted therein, and connected to a hollow, tubular element having a series of openings formed therein adjacent the first element. The hollow, tubular element extends outwardly from the nozzle, through an exit opening and may have a second element mounted thereon. The second element may take various shapes, including having a number of protrusions thereon, to vary the atomization of fluid flowing from the nozzle exit. An outer end of the hollow, tubular element may be free to suck in atmosphere, or may be attached to a tube immersed in a container, to draw in a second fluid to mix with the first fluid through the nozzle.
