CONTROL OF FLUID DYNAMICS WITH ENGINEERED FRACTALS - ADSORPTION PROCESS APPLICATIONS

Abstract Engineered fluid transporting fractals can be utilized for a broad range of fluid control applications. These applications include use as alternatives to turbulence, controlled formation of fluid geometry and rapid transition of effective fluid dimension. As applied to adsorption processes, fractals can be used to provide rapid and homogeneous distribution of fluids to form surfaces or rapid distribution and collection of volumes.
