A device for use in a fluid system includes a flow perturbation element
within a fluid channel. The flow perturbation element has a gas permeable
surface for removing dissolved gas from passing fluid. A gas permeable
membrane is coated on the gas permeable surface and allows the dissolved
gas transport out of passing fluid into a gas-removal channel. The gas
permeable membrane may be coated on the fuel perturbation elements using
any of a variety of methods.
