Abstract
A static mixer may include a conduit section having a channel, an injector opening through an inner wall thereof, a tab having a main portion extending from the inner wall adjacent and downstream of the opening and extending radially inwardly at an angle away from the opening in the downstream direction, and having at least one finger extending at a non-zero angle from the main portion, the main portion and the at least one finger being configured such that a second fluid injected through the injector opening and into a first fluid flowing through the conduit section flows radially along the main portion toward a center of the conduit section, and radially outward from the main portion along the at least one finger, whereby the first and second fluids are thoroughly mixed as a result of turbulence imparted by the tab to the fluids.
