Abstract:
1. A mixing eductor comprising an inlet channel for accepting a forced flow of fluid; a mixing channel having a flared inlet region, a flared outlet region, and a generally cylindrical-shaped neck region connecting the flared inlet region and flared outlet region, wherein the flared inlet region of said mixing channel is positioned near the inlet channel in a manner which allows fluid surrounding the eductor to be entrained into the mixing channel and said forced flow of fluid and said entrained fluid to pass through the generally cylindrical-shaped neck region and flared outlet region of the mixing channel; and flow path tubing inserted into said mixing channel in said generally cylindrical-shaped neck region for introducing a liquid or a gas to the mixing channel to be mixed with said forced flow of fluid and said entrained fluid, wherein the inner surface of the flared outlet region is configured to direct the motion of said forced flow of fluid, said entrained fluid, and said liquid or gas through the flared outlet region of the mixing channel in a helical path, thereby creating a vortex.
