Abstract
A system and method for shearing a fluid. The system includes a turbine having a rotational axis, a fluid inlet for receiving the fluid, a disk rotatable about the rotational axis at a selected speed, and a fluid outlet for expelling the fluid from the turbine. The fluid flows across a surface of the disk, and the disk shears the fluid as the fluid moves across a surface of the disk.
