Appeal No. 1997-0863
Application 08/456,001
APPENDIX
1. A static laminar mixing device comprising
a first mixer having a predetermined cross-sectional flow
area, an inlet for receiving at least a first flow of high
viscosity medium, and plurality of static mixer elements
disposed along a longitudinal axis thereof for mixing media of
different viscosities together;
an admixing device for introducing a second flow of low
viscosity medium into said inlet of said first mixer; and
a second mixer connected with said first mixer for
receiving media therefrom, said second mixer having a cross-
sectional flow area that is greater than said cross-sectional
flow area of said first mixer, wherein said cross-sectional
flow areas of said first and second mixers are taken generally
perpendicular to the direction of flow through said respective
mixers, said second mixer including a plurality of static
mixer elements disposed along a longitudinal axis thereof for
receiving and mixing the media of different viscosities
together.
9. A static laminar mixing device comprising
a first mixer having an inlet for receiving at least a
first flow of high viscosity medium and a plurality of static
mixer elements disposed along a longitudinal axis thereof for
mixing media of different viscosities together, said first
mixer having a predetermined cross-sectional flow area;
an admixing device for introducing a second flow of low
