Abstract:
1. A mixer for mixing a first gas with a second gas in a reactor, the mixer comprising: a housing; a chamber located within the housing, the chamber having a flow axis through the housing and a first cross-sectional area perpendicular to the flow axis, wherein the flow axis is an axis along which gases exit the chamber; an outlet port from the chamber, the outlet port being aligned with the flow axis and having a second cross-sectional area perpendicular to the flow axis and downstream of the first cross-sectional area, the cross-sectional area of the outlet port being less than the cross-sectional area of the chamber; a first inlet in fluid communication with the chamber, the first inlet configured to introduce a first gas into the chamber at an angle of at least 45 degrees relative to the flow axis; and a second inlet in fluid communication with the chamber, the second inlet configured to introduce a second gas into the chamber at an angle of at least 45 degrees relative to the flow axis.
