TL;DR: In this paper, a line of uniaxial extension or a plane of pure shear passing through an orifice is used to extrude a continuous filament having a highly crystalline core in a generally less crystalline matrix.

TL;DR: Oscillatory Flow Reversals (OFRs) as mentioned in this paper are a novel type of continuous reactor, consisting of tubes containing equally spaced orifice plate baffles, superimposed upon the net flow of the process fluid, creating flow patterns conducive to efficient heat and mass transfer, whilst maintaining plug flow.

TL;DR: In this paper, experimental data on the heat transfer performance of a periodically baffled tube subject to both steady (net) flow and oscillatory flow was reported. But the authors did not consider the effect of the superposition of fluid oscillations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report experimental observations on both flow patterns and energy losses for oscillatory flow in geometries that can contain sharp edges and show that large scale eddy mixing can be generated in regions between sharp edges.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the concepts and key developments of mixing enhancement through pulsation and oscillation and focus on more recent research using oscillations in baffled tubes or columns, which generate discrete vortices as distinct from the more random type of flow produced by the well-established pulsed plate and reciprocating plate column devices.
