Abstract
An agitator is disposed in the interior of a casing through which fluids to be mixed pass. The agitator is connected with a source of oscillation for oscillating the agitator in the axial direction. The inner wall of the casing includes a stationary vane extending inwardly therefrom. A relative motion is generated between the agitator and the stationary vane. When the fluids flow through the interior of the casing, they are agitated and mixed together by impingement of the fluids against the stationary vane and agitator and by the relative motion between the stationary vane and the agitator.
