Provided is a mixing system to mix different types of fluids more efficiently. The mixing system installed in a piping in which a first fluid is supplied includes a mixing part including a plurality of mixing members each having a front end and a rear end rotated by a predetermined angle to form a curved surface and disposed to be spaced apart from each other and a supply part supplying a second fluid to a space between adjacent mixing members.

A method and apparatus are provided for mixing highly viscous fluids to form a mixture. The mixture is created rapidly and has a high level of uniformity. The mixture is created by utilizing induced viscous fluid folding under the influence of an electric field. The electric field is introduced by connecting a nozzle dispensing the fluids in parallel to a voltage supply and grounding a collection plate located below the nozzle. When a certain voltage is applied the co-flow viscous fluids start to fold because the electric field exerts stress on the surface of the fluids, which results in changes of the geometry and dynamics of the viscous fluids. Control of the electric field provides great control over the mixture.

A mixer is disclosed including a sealed mixing chamber having an interior, and a rotating mixing bowl within the interior of the sealed mixing chamber.
