Motionless inline mixers obtain energy for mixing and dispersion from the pressure drops developed as the phases flow at high velocity through an array of baffles or packing in a tube. Performance data on the Kenics (132) and Sul2er (133) types of motionless mixer have been reported. 

Inline motionless mixers derive the fluid motion or energy dissipation needed for mixing from the flowing fluid itself. These mixers iaclude orifice mixing columns, mixing valves, and static mixers. 

Motionless mixers continuously interchange fluid elements between the walls and the center of the conduit, thereby providing enhanced heat transfer and relatively uniform residence times. Distributive mixing is usually excellent however, dispersive mixing may be poor, especially when viscosity ratios are high,... 

The commonly used types of mixing equipment can be placed in the broad categories (1) mechanical agitators, (2) inline motionless mixers, (3) tank jet mixers, and (4) miscellaneous. The nature and type of agitator used depends upon the scale and type of mixing and upon the fluids being mixed. The broad classes of impellers are ...
