The present invention relates to a source container and to a vapor-deposition reactor. The source container according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a container comprising an inner wall for delimiting a first space for holing a source material, and a second space which is adjacent to the first space and is for the mixing of vapor emitted from the source material and a carrier gas taken into the inside thereof; a carrier gas inflow pathway which connects the outside of the container second space; a mixed gas discharge pathway which connects the outside of the container and the second space; and a flow-limiting member which expands inside the second space, and provides a first flow barrier surface between the inflow port and the discharge port.

A method for validating a homogenizing valve (1), comprising the steps of:preparing an emulsion having a hydrophilic phase comprising, in weight percentage on the total weight: from 55% to 74% demineralized water, from 10% to 20% glycerin and from 3% to 4,2% butylene glycol, and a lipophilic phase comprising, in weight percentage on the total weight: from 5.1% to 5.9% squalane, from 7.2% to 8.8% caprylic acid alkyl ester and from 0.665% to 0.735% cetyl alcohol;subjecting the emulsion to forced passage within the homogenizing valve (1) from a high pressure zone (HP) to a low pressure zone (LP) a plurality of times.

A mixing funnel for mixing fluids is provided. In one embodiment, the mixing funnel includes a tray having a fluid inlet arranged to receive a primary fluid flow, and first and second fluid passages configured to receive primary fluid flow from the fluid inlet such that the flow is divided to flow along the first and second fluid passages. The first and second fluid passages can be arranged to direct the primary fluid flow to a mixing area. The tray can further include a fluid outlet arranged to receive the primary fluid flow from the mixing area and to deliver the fluid to a container.

An apparatus comprising a chamber enclosing a flow path of a first fluid and having a second inlet arranged downstream of the first inlet for receiving a second fluid. The apparatus further comprises a vertically adjustable throttle body an end portion comprising three parts, the first part being upstream of the second part, the third part being downstream of the second part, wherein, in an operating position, the second inlet is upstream of the third part of the throttle body and downstream of the first inlet and wherein the first part and the third part of the end portion are adapted to achieve a higher flow rate than the second part.

According to an aspect of this disclosure, there is provided a fluid processing apparatus including: a housing with a space formed therein; a fluid receiving part removably coupled to the housing and receiving a fluid therein; and a conveying part accommodated in the space of the housing and coupled to the fluid receiving part to be in fluid communication therewith, wherein the conveying part includes: a pump member coupled to the fluid receiving part and providing a conveying force to the fluid; and a mixing nozzle which is in communication with the pump member, and into which the fluid flows after having passed through the pump member.

A closure mechanism for a wine storage container having two fluid channels provides a compressive structure to apply a compressive force to a delayed valve actuation mechanism having an actuation plate, a support plate, and a valve plate. The actuation plate may be partially rotated before beginning to open or close the fluid openings. The first fluid channel permits wine to flow from the lower portion of the storage container, through an aerator, and through a valve cap assembly. The second fluid channel permits air to flow into the valve cap assembly to the aerator, and to vent the container. The valve cap assembly includes a decorative cap with a liquid outlet port positioned 180 degrees from a vent inlet port. In a fully open orientation, the liquid outlet port is positioned over the first fluid channel, and the vent inlet port is positioned over the second fluid channel.

A system and method for mixing fluids using a microfluidic mixing device involves heating a mixing portion of the fluid mixing channel to a Leidenfrost temperature. The Leidenfrost temperature corresponds to a Leidenfrost point of at least one of the fluids to be mixed. The fluids to be mixed are directed through the mixing portion of the fluid mixing channel after the mixing portion is heated to the Leidenfrost temperature.

An impinging-type temperature uniformity device includes an outer case portion; and a temperature uniformizer provided in the outer case portion, spaced apart inwardly from an inner surface of the outer case portion and connected to the outer case portion, wherein the temperature uniformizer includes: a head portion provided in the outer case portion; and a body portion spaced apart inwardly from the inner surface of the outer case portion and including at least one through-hole.

An apparatus for applying a multi-component viscous material to workpieces includes a metering unit having a number of metering valves corresponding to the number of components of the material, as well as a coupling device, and having a mixing unit having a material inlet at a first end, and a coupling part releasably connected to the coupling device, and, at a second end, a mixing tube having an exit opening for the material, as well as a mixing structure arranged in the tube, for mixing the components as they are passed through the tube from the inlet to the exit. A needle valve releases and closes the exit opening and has a valve needle extending in a longitudinal direction from the material inlet to the exit opening that releases the exit opening in a release position, and closes it in a closed position, by contacting a valve seat.

A carbonation machine may include a carbonation head, a holder that is configured to hold a gas canister, the holder comprising a connector with a socket configured to enable linear insertion of a valve of the canister into the socket, the socket including a seal with at least one lateral opening to enable fluidic flow between one or more laterally oriented ports of the valve and a conduit of the holder while preventing leakage of gas from the fluidic flow, and a holding mechanism configured to hold a lateral projection from the canister after insertion of the valve into the socket such that the valve remains in the socket, and an activation mechanism configured to operate the valve to release the gas from the canister when inserted into the socket so as to enable the gas to flow via the conduit to the carbonation head
