2008 Annual Meeting

Session: Mixing in Confined Jets and High-Intensity Continuous Contactors

Impinging and cross-flow jets, turbulence promoters, and high-intensity continuous contactors are used for a number of mixing and reactor applications. The design and performance of such mixers and contactors and the development of new types are covered in this session.
