Fluid mixing apparatus and fluid mixing method

摘要

There is provided a fluid mixing apparatus (10) and a fluid mixing method that can increase uniform distribution properties of fluids in numbering-up and air bubble removing properties in channels to allow uniform and stable mixing or reaction to be performed. The fluid mixing apparatus (10) has a numbering-up mechanism that distributes plural kinds of fluids L1 and L2 and concurrently performs multiple mixing or reactions, including: a rectifying section (28) having a plurality of annular channels (50) and (60) that rectify the plural kinds of fluids L1 and L2 into respective concentric annular flows; a distribution section (30) having a plurality of distribution channels (62)... and (64) ... that distribute the plural kinds of fluids L1 and L2 rectified by the rectifying section (28) into a plurality of flows; a converging section (31) having a plurality of converging channels (92) ... and (94) ... that converge different kinds of fluids among the plural kinds of fluids L1 and L2 distributed by the distribution section (30); and a mixing/reaction section (32) having a plurality of mixing/reaction channels (66) ... that cause mixing or reaction of the plural kinds of fluids L1 and L2 converged by the converging section (31), wherein pressure loss increasing devices are provided in the distribution channels (62) ... and (64) ....
