ABSTRACT:
A device and method for inducing turbulence in the flow of a fluid in the course of a continuous flow process are disclosed. The device comprising a series of chambers extending along an axis. Each chamber is defined by (1) a cylindrical conduit that extends along the axis and between opposite ends and has a constant internal diameter along the axis; (2) a frusto-conical diffuser that has an internal diameter increasing along the axis from a reduced internal diameter at an inlet of the diffuser to an internal diameter substantially equal to that conduit at an outlet of the diffuser; and (3) a frusto-conical confuser that has an internal diameter decreasing along the axis from an internal diameter substantially equal to that of the conduit at an inlet of the confuser to a reduced diameter at an outlet of the confuser. The conduit, diffuser and confuser of each chamber are arranged coaxially and the cylindrical conduit extends from the outlet of the diffuser to the inlet of the confuser. The outlet of one of the confusers and the inlet of one of the diffusers of adjacent chambers in the series connect the chambers together. According to the method, fluent materials are injected through the device.
