Abstract:
A fluid flow device having a conical diverter, helical vanes, an annular baffle, and a flue pipe, all of which are concentrically arranged in series between an inlet and an outlet of cylindrical fluid flow passage, whereby in use the conical diverter and the helical vanes simultaneously create vortical fluid flow centrally through the annular baffle and the flue pipe, and accelerated laminar fluid flow circumferentially around the annular baffle and the flue pipe.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a multicomponent foil-type container comprising a first chamber (5) for accommodating a first component, at least one second chamber (5') for accommodating a second component, a discharge duct (6) that can be connected to said chambers (5, 5'), deflection elements (11) for mixing the components within the discharge duct (6), and a seal (12; 12'; 21; 25, 25'; 36, 36') which prevents the components from being mixed before being used and can be opened for discharging the components. The deflection elements (11) of the inventive multicomponent foil-type container are disposed on a separate mixing element (9) that is located in the discharge duct (6) such that the multicomponent foil-type container is easy to produce while allowing different components to be mixed in a particularly effectively manner. The invention further relates to a device for squeezing a multicomponent foil-type container in a particularly effective fashion. The disclosed squeezing device is provided with a holding element (61; 77) for accommodating a multicomponent foil-type container. At least one leg (68, 69; 88) that can be moved towards the chambers (5, 5') of the multicomponent foil-type container in order to squeeze the multicomponent foil-type container is hingedly connected to the end of the holding element (61; 77) which faces the rear end of an inserted multicomponent foil-type container, resulting in the components being effectively mixed.
Abstract:
A plurality of mixing distribution units (10) are provided with two inlets (11a, 11b) and two outlets (12a, 12b), and these mixing distribution units are periodically arranged to form a plurality of laminated flow channel modules (7) to provide flow channels forming a plurality of layers, wherein the two outlets (12a, 12b) in one mixing distribution unit of each flow channel module are respectively individually connected to one of the respective inlets (11a, 11b) of the two mixing distribution units in adjoining flow channel modules in the next layer, thereby realizing a micromixer of simple construction that is suitable for forming a micromix solution of two kinds of liquids (A, B).

The device is a branch pipe device for gradient high performance chromatography comprises a solvent inlet part, a branch pipe part from which two or more pipes branch, and a solvent outlet part.
Abstract:
Synthetic processes for forming highly conjugated semiconducting polymers via the use of microreactor systems, such as microfluidic continuous flow reactors are described herein. The compounds synthesized include conjugated systems incorporating fused thiophenes and, more particularly, fused thiophene-based diketopyrrolopyrrole polymers, which are useful as organic semiconductors and have application in modern electronic devices.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for producing a reconstituted food product. The apparatus includes a co-extruder 11 in which a gelling agent 70 and a setting agent 80 are co-extruded into a process stream of comminuted food pieces in a flow passage, with the gelling agent and setting agent being separated by the process stream. The apparatus includes a static mixer 10 of part cylindrical wail elements 22 with inwardly protruding mixer elements 24 in which the process stream, including the gelling agent and setting agent are mixed and the grain and texture of the food pieces altered to produce a reconstituted food product that resembles whole food. The apparatus includes a tenderiser 200 for pre-treating the comminuted food pieces by compressing them between a stationary plate 202 and a vibrating plate 206 in a tapering cavity.
Abstract:
The inventive device for effecting a flow of liquid medium comprises a pump for continuously feeding the liquid medium for processing, a channel for pumping the flow of the treated liquid medium, a unit for turbulizing the flow of the treated liquid medium in said channel and a unit for degasing the turbulized flow. In order to control concentration of gaseous impurities in the turbulized liquid medium so as to reduce the danger of gaslocks forming and supercavitation impacts, the unit for degasing is arranged directly after the unit for turbulizing the flow and provided with a shut-off-and-regulating element which is used for controlled removal of the evolved gas. In order to regulate the concentration of the gaseous impurities in a more accurate manner, it is possible to carry out different variants of back coupling between the unit for degasing and the pump inlet or the unit for turbulizing, and to perform dosed feeding of the gas in the channel before entry into the unit for turbulizing.
