Claim 0:
1. An air distribution nozzle, comprising:
an elongate inlet chamber;
an elongate outlet chamber;
an elongate slot that extends between, and fluidly interconnects, the elongate inlet chamber and the elongate outlet chamber;
a motive fluid inlet port that extends into the elongate inlet chamber, wherein the motive fluid inlet port is configured to receive a motive fluid flow along a motive flow axis;
a suction inlet chamber that extends from a suction inlet port to the elongate inlet chamber, wherein the suction inlet port opens into the suction inlet chamber, wherein the suction inlet port is configured to receive a suction inlet fluid flow along a suction inlet flow axis, wherein the suction inlet flow axis extends into the elongate inlet chamber such that the suction inlet chamber is configured to discharge the suction inlet fluid flow into the elongate inlet chamber;
a sensor port that extends into the suction inlet chamber; and
an elongate outlet port that extends from the elongate outlet chamber, wherein the elongate outlet port is configured to discharge an outlet fluid flow, which includes both the motive fluid flow and the suction inlet fluid flow, along an outlet flow axis, wherein the outlet flow axis is oriented at an outlet flow skew angle relative to the motive flow axis, and further wherein the suction inlet port is coplanar with the elongate outlet port.
