Abstract:
A method of mixing a first stream of gas with a second stream of gas, comprising:introducing a first stream of gas into a first stream manifold; directing the first stream from the first stream manifold into a mixing chamber via a plurality of first stream passages flow coupled to the mixing chamber; directing a second stream of gas into the mixing chamber via at least one second stream passage flow coupled to a first end of the mixing chamber; introducing the second stream into a second stream manifold, and wherein directing the second stream includes directing the second stream from the second stream manifold via a plurality of second stream passages flow coupled to the mixing chamber; forming a combined stream from the first and second streams; gradually converging the combined stream; and discharging the converged combined stream from the mixing chamber through a mixing chamber exit port.
