<p>A multi-component static mixer comprises (10) an upstream component (14 or 30) shaped to effect a predominantly relatively high shear mixing of the fluid in the conduit (12) and a downstream component (50) shaped to effect a predominantly low shear mixing of the fluid relative to the upstream component (14 or 30) in the conduit (12). The downstream component (50) is preferably positioned within the conduit not more than two conduit diameters downstream from the upstream component (14 or 30) whereby the upstream component breaks the fluid into droplets relatively more effectively than the downstream component (50), and the downstream component (50) distributes the droplets across the conduit cross section relatively more effectively than the upstream component (14 or 30).</p> |
