ABSTRACT:
A mixer for mixing at least first and second fluids comprises a conduit configured to receive a stream of the first and second fluids. A first series of mixing elements are disposed within the conduit and configured to divide the stream in a first direction. A second series of mixing elements are disposed within the conduit and configured to divide the stream in a second direction different from the first direction. The mixing elements of the first series each comprises a first planar member oriented in the first direction and defining a leading edge, a second planar member oriented in the second direction and defining a trailing edge, a first deflecting surface extending outwardly from a first side of the first planar member and configured to direct fluid flow to a space adjacent a first side of the second planar member, and a second deflecting surface extending outwardly from a second side of the first planar member and configured to direct fluid flow to a space adjacent a second side of the second planar member.
