| Division of flow |
Fluids are bisected as they pass each element. The partition number is N=2n, where n is the number of elements. |
 |
| Radial Mixing |
As fluids pass each element, they change their direction to the right or to the left, and the force of inertia that suddenly occurs creates a strong flow reversal motion that results in stirring and mixing of the fluids. |  |
| Flow Reversal |
As fluids go along the curves of each element, they are rotated radially toward the pipe wall, or rotated back to the center. |  |
