The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a gas mixer that includes a convergent-divergent nozzle comprising a convergent portion and a divergent portion and defining a first gas flow path, an air housing comprising an air inlet configured to supply air to the first gas flow path upstream of the convergent-divergent nozzle, a gas housing defining a second gas flow path and including a first gas inlet configured to receive a secondary gas and allow the secondary gas into a second gas flow path, and a gas nozzle positioned parallel to and centrally within the first gas flow path in a convergent portion of the convergent-divergent nozzle, the gas nozzle configured to supply the secondary gas to the first gas flow path upstream of the divergent portion.

An exemplary process air recirculation system, and an electric heater mixing apparatus is disclosed herein. Exemplary process air recirculation systems comprise the electric heating mixing apparatus. An exemplary electric heating mixing apparatus comprises: walls defining a first chamber having a first upstream opening and a first downstream opening, and a second chamber having a first upstream opening and a first downstream opening, wherein the second chamber is adjacently disposed to the first chamber, a first inlet damper disposed at the first upstream opening, a second inlet damper disposed at the second upstream opening, and a resistance-type electric air heater disposed in the first chamber.

A mixer for a gas flow system, such as an exhaust gas recirculation system, is provided. In one example, a gas flow system for an engine includes a first passage through which a first gas is configured to flow along a first axis; a second passage through which a second gas is configured to flow along a second axis, the first passage fluidly coupled to the second passage at an outlet of the first passage; and a mixer integrated with the first passage at the outlet and extending into the second passage, the mixer including an extension extending radially around the first axis and a main body extending into the second passage along the first axis.

An aerosol-generating system includes an aerosol-generating device and at least two consumables. Each consumable includes an aerosol-forming substrate. The aerosol-generating device further includes a device housing comprising at least two receiving chambers, wherein each consumable is accommodated in a separate receiving chamber of the at least two receiving chambers.

A method for operating an oxycombustion engine system includes passing a nitrogen-depleted gas, a fuel, and a recycled exhaust gas into a combustion chamber, combusting a mixture of the nitrogen-depleted gas, the fuel, and the recycled exhaust gas, thereby producing an exhaust gas including carbon dioxide, detecting a pressure of the recycled exhaust gas passed to the combustion chamber, determining whether the detected pressure of the recycled exhaust gas is less than a configurable pressure threshold, and in response to determining that the detected pressure of the recycled exhaust gas is less than the configurable pressure threshold, increasing the pressure of the recycled exhaust gas passed to the combustion chamber.
