Methods and systems are provided for a mixer. In one example, a system may include a mixer arranged in a passage and configured to mix two dissimilar types of gases upstream of a device.

Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for reducing the infrared signature of a vehicle, specifically to the use of mixed flow or centrifugal blowers to reduce the amount of infrared radiation being emitted from the engine exhaust. A blower and mixer are used to cool the exhaust gas from an aircraft engine. The blower and mixer use a tertiary exhaust duct to swirl cool air from an engine particle separator (EPS) and/or oil cooler, for example, with the hot engine exhaust gas. Existing blowers in the EPS or oil cooler may be used to motivate air flow so that a unique or dedicated blower is not required. In addition to reducing exposure to hostile forces, other benefits of cooling the exhaust gas include greatly reduced ground-impingement temperatures and safer personnel working zones because the hot plume is mostly eliminated.

The present invention is concerned with improved swirl burners, particularly, but not limited to, swirl burners used in fuel cell systems.

A gas delivery system and method for delivering reactants such as a first gas through a first conduit and a second gas through at least one second conduit, for example, through a plurality of second conduits. The plurality of second conduits may each have a length, wherein at least a portion of the length is entirely disposed within the first conduit. In an implementation, the first conduit may deliver carbon monoxide and the one or more second conduits may deliver carbon monoxide doped with a catalyst such as iron pentacarbonyl. The first and second gases may be introduced into a reaction vessel such as a reactor chamber and used to form carbon nanotubes.

The invention relates to methods for the chemical application of coatings by the decay of gaseous compounds, in particular to methods for injecting gases into a reaction chamber. The invention also relates to means for feeding gases into a reaction chamber, said means providing for the regulation of streams of reactive gases, and ensures the possibility of obtaining multi-layer epitaxial structures having set parameters and based on nitrides of group III metals while simultaneously increasing the productivity and cost-effectiveness of the process of the epitaxial growth thereof. Before being fed into a reactor, all of the gas streams are sent to a mixing chamber connected to the reactor, and are then fed into the reactor via a flux former under laminar flow conditions. The mixing chamber and the flux former are equipped with means for maintaining a set temperature. As a result of these solutions, a gaseous mixture with set parameters is fed into the reactor, and the formation of vortices is simultaneously prevented. The maximum allowable volume of the mixing chamber is chosen to take into account the process parameters and the required rarity of heterojunctions.

The aerosol-generating device further includes at least two mouthpieces, wherein each mouthpiece of the at least two mouthpieces is aligned with a separate consumable of the at least two consumables and wherein the aerosol-generating device is configured to isolate airflows through separate, respective mouthpieces of the at least two mouthpieces.

A vacuum generator/amplifier system for gas applications and a brake booster generation method uses a vacuum amplifier system including a multi-lumen defining member comprising a modified venturi geometry having a converging section leading to a throat (lumen segment of minimum ID diameter), followed by a straight section culminating in to a diverging section and a port for output vacuum which is located after the throat at the beginning of the straight section. The converging section has a sinusoidal shape leading to the point of convergence, also called the throat, with a minimum internal lumen diameter D, and generates an amplified vacuum at the output with a gain ratio of four to one, with substantially reduced parasitic losses, even at low flows.

A flue ozone distributor applied in a low-temperature oxidation denitrification technology and an arrangement manner thereof is disclosed. The flue ozone distributor comprises a distribution main pipe, multiple distribution branch pipes, Venturi distributors and delta wings. The distribution branch pipes are led out from the distribution main pipe as parallel branches. The Venturi distributors are arranged with an equal space on the distribution branch pipes.
