Radially outside of the exhaust gas guide element connection area (72a), a flange coupling section (88a) couples with a flange coupling section (98a) of another exhaust gas guide element (14a).
Methods and apparatus comprising a first conduit circumscribed by a second conduit
A fluid distributor comprises a first conduit extending along a first elongated axis and a second conduit circumscribing the first conduit. A first area comprises a cross-sectional flow area of the first conduit taken perpendicular to the first elongated axis. The first conduit comprises a first plurality of orifices comprising a first combined cross-sectional area. The second conduit comprises a second plurality of orifices comprising a second combined cross-sectional area. A first ratio of the first area to the first combined cross-sectional area can be about 2 or more. A second ratio of the first combined cross-sectional area to the second combined cross-sectional area can be about 2 or more. An angle between a direction of an orifice axis of a first orifice of the first plurality of orifices and a direction of an orifice axis of a first orifice of the second plurality of orifices can be from about 45° to 180°.
PLURAL COMPONENT SPRAY GUN SYSTEM
A spray gun for a plural component system is provided. The spray gun includes a first component delivery line and a second component delivery line. The spray gun also includes a nozzle, configured to receive and mix a first component received from the first component delivery line with a second component received from the second component delivery line. The spray gun also includes an air purge system configured to, when the spray gun is in a non-actuated position, purge the nozzle of the first and second components and, when the spray gun is in an actuated position, aid in atomization of the mixture of the first and second components.

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.
DISPERSION OF SMALL SCALE MATERIALS VIA CAVITATION
There is provided methods and systems for disaggregation and deagglomeration of small scale materials such as carbon nanotubes by cavitation of a treatment substance. The treatment substance may be a substance such as CO.sub.2 which is capable of undergoing phase changes. Systems must be capable of withstanding high pressures, and cavitation may be done by ultrasound, mechanical agitation, injection of a jet stream, or other methods. Materials treated via the methods of the invention may be removed without the use of chemical surfactants or other chemical modification means, and may be further used in a battery.
Mixer
A mixer for mixing an exhaust gas flow with a fluid injected into an exhaust gas line comprises means for generating a swirl effecting a rotating flow and means for a radial displacement in the exhaust gas flow admixed with the fluid and flowing axially through the mixer. In this respect, the swirl generation means and the radial displacement means are arranged and designed such that, viewed over the cross-section of the mixer perpendicular to the axial exhaust gas flow, at least two separate swirl regions result which are built up via tangentially acting vane-like swirl elements and at least one respective radial displacement region results which is arranged between two separate swirl regions.
