A fluid analysis system receives a fluid sample having a first liquid component and a second liquid component. The fluid sample is taken from a pipeline through a sampling apparatus to obtain a representative sample of the fluid flowing through the pipe. The representative sample flows into a circulation loop having a circulating pump, a liquid component analyzer, and a cylindrical vessel, with interconnecting piping and actuated valves there between, with the actuated valves and the circulating pump controlled by a digital processor. Once a determination of the relative percentages of the first liquid component and the second liquid component have been determined, the processor stops the circulating pump and activates a piston in the cylindrical vessel which sweeps the cylindrical vessel of any fluid contained in the vessel in preparation of receiving a subsequent fluid sample.

An air cleaner includes a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet. The air cleaner further includes a filter media coupled to the housing and positioned between the air inlet and the air outlet, the filter media configured to filter an air flow that enters the housing through the air inlet and exits the housing through the air outlet. The air cleaner includes a rectifier coupled to the housing and positioned at a location downstream of the filter media, the rectifier including an outer ring that is orthogonally oriented with respect to the air flow.

Rotational motion generates velocity of a mass wherein the mass' release from the rotating system, becoming a projectile, and subsequent impact can result in cutting, abrasion, mixing of chemicals, coaling, and other surface and bulk volume effects including the transfer of momentum. Structures and devices are used to insert a mass into a rotating device. While inside the rotating device the mass gains velocity. Transitioning from the rotational system to a stationary surface is accomplished with a minimum of velocity loss by selecting trajectories, air flows, and surface finishes to reduce energy losses in the mass' transition onto the stationary surface and info a fixed stationary guide tube, and ultimately to an impact point. Single and multiple conduits, stationary and rotating, can be used to accomplish complex chemistry and physics affects.
