In one example, a liquid mixture nozzle for flowing a liquid mixture therethrough includes a body having a flow inlet and a flow outlet. The flow inlet is configured to couple to a first piece of piping and the flow outlet is configured to couple to a second piece of piping. The liquid mixture nozzle also includes a converging section having a decreasing diameter positioned adjacent the flow inlet, an orifice positioned at a narrow end of the converging section, an intermediate section having a constant diameter positioned adjacent the orifice, a diverging section having an increasing diameter positioned adjacent the intermediate section and the flow outlet.

A loop dissolution system specifically suited for dissolving uranium compounds in an acidic bath that continually circulates the acid over the uranium compound to be dissolved. The dissolution system includes an upper material feed dissolution plate on which the material to be dissolved is fed, a lower mixing and dissolution ring and a drop pipe system connecting and establishing fluid communication between the upper material feed dissolution plate and the lower mixing and dissolution ring. A pump for circulating the acidic fluid has an intake from the lower mixing and dissolution ring and an outlet that directs a first portion of a fluid to the upper material feed dissolution plate and a second portion of the fluid back into the lower mixing and dissolution ring to circulate the material suspended in the fluid within the lower mixing and dissolution ring to promote turbulence and facilitate dissolution.

Systems and methods related to preparing foamed cement for laboratory analysis are provided. A prepared cement slurry is placed in a cement reservoir cell configured to pressurize the cement slurry contained within the cement reservoir cell to a capture pressure. After pressurization, the cement slurry and a compressed gas are introduced into a foam generator. Foamed cement generated in the foam generator is introduced from the tee into a foam capture cell where it can cure prior to analysis.

One aspect relates to a device for mixing two liquids including a tube having an open end, a main line connected to the tube in a liquid-permeable manner, a rubber-elastic body delimiting a line wall of the main line, at least one secondary line in the rubber-elastic body, wherein the at least one secondary line extends from at least one secondary opening up to the main line and opens via at least one mouth into the main line, a main connection for introducing a first liquid into the main line, at least one feed line for introducing a second liquid into the at least one secondary line, which is connected to the at least one secondary opening in a liquid-permeable manner. The at least one secondary line is closed in the rubber-elastic body without the action of a force and is hydraulically openable by a pressure being exerted on a second liquid fed to the at least one secondary line by an elastic deformation of the at least one rubber-elastic body. The open at least one secondary line closes without a pressure being exerted on the supplied second liquid by the restoring force of the elastically deformed rubber-elastic body.

The current invention concerns a method for preparing an emulsion comprising the steps: mixing a first phase and a second phase in a layer multiplier to produce a multilayered fluid structure, and collapsing said multilayered fluid structure, thereby dispersing the second phase in the first phase creating an emulsion. The current invention relates to a method for producing dispersions. The current invention also concerns the emulsions produced by said method. The current method also relates to polymer emulsions, particularly polyisobutene emulsions with a high content of polyisobutene.

The present invention relates to hydroformylation reaction processes. In one aspect, a hydroformylation reaction process comprises (a) contacting an olefin, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst in a reactor to provide a reaction fluid, wherein the reactor comprises one or more reaction zones; (b) removing a portion of the reaction fluid from a first reaction zone; (c) passing at least a portion of the removed reaction fluid through a shear mixing apparatus to produce bubbles in the portion of the removed reaction fluid, wherein at least a portion of hydrogen and carbon monoxide provided to the reactor is introduced through the shear mixing apparatus; and (d) returning the removed reaction fluid to the first reaction zone through one or more nozzles wherein the returning reaction fluid exiting each nozzle is a jet, wherein the mixing energy density provided to the reactor by the jets is greater than or equal to 500 Watts/m.sup.3.
