- Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating a third embodiment of the mixing device used in the present invention .
- Fig. 6 is a diagram illustrating the structure of an example of the cylindrical housing defining the hollow interior space of the jet pump 50 of the mixing device shown in Fig. 5.
- FIG. 1 A general device according to the first embodiment of the device for use in carrying out the present invention is shown in Fig. 1.
- the elevation of a mixing apparatus 1 is shown in Fig. 2 and the top section of the mixing apparatus 1 in the plane of a hole of the mixing apparatus 1 is shown in Fig. 3.
- the mixing apparatus 1 is described with reference to Figs. 2 and 3.
- the mixing apparatus 1 comprises a cylindrical wall which is opened at one end 10 and closed at the opposite end 11.
- a hollow element 13 comprising a first portion 14 having a circular rim 12 connected to the central part thereof and a second portion 17.
- the first portion 14 of this element 13 has a shape of a substantially hollow parabolic surface arranged in a closed chamber formed between the rim 12 and the closed end 11 of the mixing apparatus 1.
- the first portion 14 has a shape of a completely hollow parabolic surface.
- a certain number of holes 15 are formed through wall of the element 13 at the height (about 1/3 in the embodiment) of the upper position of the first portion 14. The holes 15 are formed in the tangential direction.
- a duct 16 is extended from the closed end 11 of the mixing apparatus 1 slightly inclinedly with respect to the axis of the mixing apparatus.

- the portion 17 has a shape of a complete hyperbola.
- the mixing apparatus 1 is formed of glass.
- a fluid component is caused to flow to the first portion 14 through the inclined duct 16 while being rotated, and in the first portion 14, the majority of the fluid component introduced into the holes 15 is caused to flow along the inner wall of the fist portion 14 toward the top (downward in Fig. 2) while being further rotated. At the top, the flow is reflected and the flow speed is gradually increased, and a vortex state is formed on the central axis toward the second portion. Different substances are mixed by this vortex state.
- a liquid mixture of a hydrophobic liquid phase and an hydrophilic liquid phase is introduced through the inlet duct 16.
- the inflowing fluid will rotate around the central axis of the mixing apparatus 1 and the rotating fluid enters in through the tangential openings 15 in the wall 14 of the first chamber portion.
- a focal line is formed where pressure is at minimum, and along the axis the pressure decreases in axial direction towards the outlet opening. This means that pressure is decreasing gradually both in radial and axial direction, and the fluid rotates around the axis and flows in axial direction.
- the speed of flow and the velocity of rotation increases gradually toward the outlet duct portion 18 and in radial direction the pressure decreases towards the axis and a minimum is experienced along the axis. It is preferred if the rotational hyperboloid function has the same grade as the paraboloid function of the first chamber portion has.
- the flow will have a structure which can be visualized in such a way as if the fluid mass consisted of an infinitely high numbers of annular hollow tubes having a form substantially following that of the tapering section 17, and the speed of rotation was different in case of each tube so that the elementary tubes were sliding on each other during their rotational movements. Moreover, the elementary tubes slide with respect to each other not only due to their differing speeds of rotation but they are moving and sliding in axial direction as well.
- the flow rate should be adjusted in such a way that phase transition (i.e. vaporization of any component) do not take place, nevertheless the minimum pressure should be just above the vapour pressure of the liquid mixture.
- this condition should relate to the one which has the highest vapor pressure at the given temperature.
- This condition is equivalent to the statement that cavitation cannot occur in the flow.

This will now be described in detail.
- the majority of the rotating fluid component first flows to the closed top of the paraboloid and is reflected forward therefrom, and because of the exponentially tapered shape of the second portion 17 of the hollow element 13, the fluid component is promptly rotated together with the other component and the fluid component is advanced in the conduit 5 toward the vessel 3.
- the fluid component is circulated in the closed system until the pump 2 is turned off.

As a result, it was confirmed that the water and the vitamin A oil in the vessel were separated and the underpositioned water was transparent and was not turbid. On the other hand, when one drop each of the upperpositioned vitamin A oil and the underpositioned water placed on a separate preparation was observed by the above-mentioned optical microscope, it was confirmed that neither the water drops nor the oil drops were a mixture of water and oil. Furthermore, neither oil in the water drops nor water in the oil drops were observed by the above-mentioned ultramicroscope.
- the resultant mixtures were separated after allowing to stand at room temperature for one hour, into water and gas oil and the lower water phase was transparent.
- the ethyl alcohol/vitamin A oil mixture prepared according to the first embodiment as the hydrophilic liquid/hydrophobic mixture was photographed by the microscope according to the above-mentioned method, it was confirmed that the droplet size of the vitamin A oil in ethyl alcohol was about 500 nm. No substantial change of the state was observed with respect to the distribution of ethyl alcohol and vitamin A oil between the mixture just after the mixing and the mixture which had been stored in a thermostat tank maintained at 50°C for 20 days.
- the ethyl alcohol/vitamin A oil mixture on the preparation was warmed to evaporate water, adhesion of the oily substance onto the preparation was confirmed.
- a plurality of mixing apparatuss 1 can be arranged in series or in parallel in one closed flow passage, and other substance can be supplied linearly or in the reversely rotated state in a vortex formed within the mixing apparatus. Furthermore, the mixing method, mixing device and mixture are not limited to those specifically disclosed in the examples.
- hydrophobic liquid oily materials such as carnauba wax and liquid paraffin and fossil fuels such as benzene, decane, and gas oil, vegetable oils such as sesame oil, and by the term “hydrophilic liquid” are meant various alcohols such as monohydric and dihydric alcohols.
- the obtained mixture is advantageous in the cost because an emulsifier need not be used, and hence, the limitations by the use of the emulsifier or the like are eliminated and the mixture can be widely used.
