A method for mixing viscous matter by generating shaped acoustic convection

摘要

An appropriate acoustic field acting onto the viscous matter to be treated causes acoustic waves in it. The field is shaped and modified during the process in such a way that it applies acoustic waves to the most viscous parts of the matter to be treated. A joggling field resonating to some part of the subjected matter is expected to mix the matter most efficiently. The process can be used, for example, to increase the degree to which an oil tank wagon can be emptied.
