Micromixing efficiency

An important piece of information that can be obtained from the measurement is that the impinging velocity is very small under normal conditions of SCISR operation, only of the order of magnitude of 10 1 m-s-1, implying very low power consumption, although the SCISR gives an excellent performance of promoting micromixing efficiently. 

Although certain factors existing in the SCISR have been found to promote micromixing efficiently, unfortunately their individual contributions cannot yet be described quantitatively and further investigations are called for. 

Both investigations employ the same reaction system for the determination of micromixing and the results from both investigations demonstrate that liquid-continuous impinging streams has the excellent feature of promoting micromixing efficiently. 

By utilizing the feature of LIS promoting micromixing efficiently, it can provide a very uniform supersaturation environment for crystallization ...

This measure can be used to characterize micromixing efficiency at all spatial locations. / p cannot be obtained directly in complex flows, but it is predictable from the stretching field.
