Methods and apparatus for processing materials employ two cylindrical member s, one mounted within the other, defining an annular processing chamber (44). Preferably, the outer member is stationary (stator) (30), while the inner rotates (rotor) (42). The radial spacing (44) between the stator (30) i...
