Claim Text:
1. A rotor/stator type mixer comprising a mixer unit that includes a stator having a plurality of openings formed thereon and a rotor disposed inwardly radially of the stator and spaced away from the stator with a specific gap, wherein the rotor disposed inwardly radially of the stator and spaced away from the stator with the specific gap includes: a rotor peripheral wall that is supported by a plurality of agitating blades extending radially from the center point of a rotary shaft of the rotor and faces opposite the inside of the peripheral wall of the stator having the plurality of openings formed thereon and is located inwardly radially of the stator with the specific gap; and a plurality of rotor openings formed on the rotor peripheral wall; wherein the mixer is designed by calculating the Equation 1 listed below to estimate the mixer's particular running time and the resulting liquid drop diameters of the fluid being processed that are obtained during that mixer's particular running time, the mixer's design being such that it allows the resulting liquid drop diameters of the fluid being processed to be determined during the mixer's particular running time: In the Equation 1, ε ε ε N Nqd: Number of flow rates (−) n D: Diameter of rotor (m) b: Thickness of rotor blade tip (m) δ: Gap between rotor and stator (m) n d: Diameter of stator hole (m) l: Thickness of stator (m) N: Number of rotations (l/s) t V: Flow rate (m K K K
