MIXING APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

Apparatus and method for effecting mass or heat transfer between the bulk of a fluid and a surface boundary layer of the fluid at a transfer surface in which the fluid is passed in pulsatile flow through a conduit (30) having a transfer surface comprising at least a part of the surface of an array of cylinders (31) positioned transverse to the direction of fluid flow. The transfer surface may comprise a membrane for example a hollow fibre membrane.
