Downstream of the turbine rotor (34) in extension of the axis of rotation of the turbine rotor (34), an impingement body (44) is arranged for the reducing agent or the precursor substance introduced into the exhaust gas and atomized, wherein a distance of the impingement body (44) from the swirl atomizer (43) corresponds to at most 7 times a diameter of the turbine rotor (34).
Process-intensified flow reactor
A flow reactor has a module having a process fluid passage with an interior surface, a portion of the passage including a cross section along the portion having a cross-sectional shape, and a cross-sectional area with multiple minima along the passage. The cross-sectional shape varies continually along the portion and the interior surface of the portion includes either no pairs of opposing flat parallel sides or only pairs of opposing flat parallel sides which extend for a length of no more than 4 times a distance between said opposing flat parallel sides along the portion and the portion contains a plurality of obstacles distributed along the portion.
FLUID MIXING STRUCTURE
A respiratory therapy system can have a flow generator adapted to provide gases to a patient. A gas passageway can be located in-line with the flow generator. The gas passageway can have a first portion adapted to receive a first gas and a second portion adapted to receive a second gas. The gas passageway can have a static mixer downstream of the first and second portions.
Oxycombustion engine systems including recirculation management features
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.

BALLAST WATER TREATMENT DEVICE
A ballast water treatment system includes: a chemical agent container for containing a chemical agent for a ballast water treatment; a chemical liquid preparation tank having a tank main body for containing the chemical agent supplied from the chemical agent container and water for dissolving the chemical agent, and a mixture part for mixing the chemical agent with the water in the tank main body; a chemical liquid storage tank for storing the chemical liquid obtained by dissolving the chemical agent in the water in the chemical liquid preparation tank; and a chemical liquid supply part for supplying the chemical liquid stored in the chemical liquid storage tank into ballast water.
FLUID MIXING UNIT AND FLUID MIXING METHOD
A fluid mixing unit includes a cylindrical porous body partitioning a container into a first flow space and a second flow space surrounding the first flow space. A first supply port supplies a first fluid to one of the first and second flow spaces. A second supply port provided on one end side of the container in an axial direction of the cylindrical body supplies a second fluid to the other flow space. An outlet for a mixed fluid is provided on the other end side of the container to be open only to the other flow space. Closing members are provided in a plurality of stages along the axial direction to alternately close a right and a left of the other flow space as seen in the axial direction in the other flow space. A meandering flow is formed in the other flow space to create the mixed fluid.
FLUID MIXING DEVICE
A fluid mixing device is provided with a plurality of flow channel units disposed to be divided in a plurality of layers. Each of the flow channel units has an inflow port, an outflow port, and a plurality of branch flow channels making the inflow port and the outflow port communicate with each other. The flow channel units located in different layers are connected to each other at the inflow port and the outflow port between the flow channel units, thereby configuring a three-dimensional flow channel as a whole. When the direction from the inflow port to the outflow path of each flow channel unit is set to be a flow direction in the flow channel unit, the flow directions intersect each other between the respective layers.
