Abstract
An apparatus and method for fluid mixing comprising a housing having an internal chamber and a rotatable unit disposed in the chamber. Sufficient clearance is provided between the rotatable unit and the housing to create space for the mixing of the two or more dissimilar fluids. As one example, one fluid input arrives in the mixing chamber by suitable ducting in the housing and the other fluid input arrives in the mixing chamber via a passage in the rotatable unit, the fluids collide and mix and where preferably at least one array of surface irregularities are disposed on an exterior face of the rotatable unit. The refined fluid mixture leaves the apparatus from a exit in the housing preferably poritioned radially outwardly of the rotatable unit.
