Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a bubble implosion reactor cavitation device, including: a tube-shaped cylindrical body including an upstream, a distal end surface and a downstream, proximal end surface, wherein the tube-shaped cylindrical body defines an axial passage that extends through the tube-shaped cylindrical body between the upstream, distal end surface and the downstream, proximal end surface; a bubble generator subassembly connected to the tube-shaped cylindrical body, wherein the bubble generator subassembly is at least partially disposed within the axial passage defined by the tube-shaped cylindrical body; and a retaining member connected to the tube-shaped cylindrical body for retaining the bubble generator subassembly within the axial passage defined by the tube-shaped cylindrical body, wherein the bubble generator subassembly includes an upstream-facing member, a downstream-facing member connected to the upstream-facing member, and a nozzle array disk arranged between and connected to both of the upstream-facing member and the downstream-facing member, wherein the nozzle array disk includes an upstream, distal end surface and the downstream, proximal end surface, wherein the nozzle array disk defines a plurality of fluid-flow passages that extend through the nozzle array disk between the upstream, distal end surface and the downstream, proximal end surface, wherein the nozzle array disk defines an axial passage that extends through the nozzle array disk between the upstream, distal end surface and the downstream, proximal end surface of the nozzle array disk, wherein
