Claim:
1. A quenching process comprising: providing a first hollow pipe for containing a first fluid and a second hollow pipe for containing a second fluid; containing the second fluid as a single flow upstream of a longitudinal baffle within the second hollow pipe; dividing the second fluid into a first baffle flow along a first side of the longitudinal baffle and a second baffle flow along a second side of the longitudinal baffle within the second hollow pipe; and directing the first baffle flow from a first baffle flow outlet and the second baffle flow from a second baffle flow outlet in the second hollow pipe and into the first fluid in the first hollow pipe, the first baffle flow outlet having a first baffle flow outlet area and the second baffle flow outlet having a second baffle flow outlet area that together equal a total outlet area, wherein the first and second baffle flow outlets are configured to have an area ratio between them such that the area of the first baffle flow outlet is about 60% to about 70% of the total area and the second baffle flow outlet makes up the difference or is about 40% to about 30% of the total area.
