This invention discloses improvements on previous inventions for catalytic conversion of coal and steam to methane. The disclosed improvements permit conversion of petroleum residua or heavy crude petroleum to methane and carbon dioxide such that nearly all of the heating value of the converted hydrocarbons is recovered as heating value of the product methane. The liquid feed is distributed over a fluidized solid particulate catalyst containing alkali metal and carbon as petroleum coke at elevated temperature and pressure from the lower stage and transported to the upper stage of a two-stage reactor. Particulate solids containing carbon and alkali metal are circulated between the two stages. Superheated steam and recycled hydrogen and carbon monoxide are fed to the lower stage, fluidizing the particulate solids and gasifying some of the carbon. The gas phase from the lower stage passes through the upper stage, completing the reaction of the gas phase.

A hair dryer includes a motor and a fan to generate an air current within a housing, and a heater for selectively supplying heat into air introduced from the outside of the housing by the fan. A discharge nozzle is disposed on one end of the housing. A coanda surface is disposed on the discharge nozzle. Thus, the air passing through the housing flows along the coanda surface to suction air outside the discharge nozzle into a central passage part of the discharge nozzle, thereby mixing the suctioned air with the air passing through the housing. The air mixed within the central passage part is discharged through a discharge hole of the discharge nozzle. Since the air passing on the coanda surface suctions the air outside the discharge nozzle, the motor may be reduced in capacity. Also, an electromagnetic shielding effect may be significantly improved.

An ejector system comprises a lobed, supersonic primary nozzle and a convergent / divergent ejector shroud. The lobed nozzle is just upstream from the ejector shroud, such that there is an annular space between the nozzle and shroud for admitting a secondary flow. In operation, a primary flow of high-pressure steam or air is directed through the primary nozzle, where it is accelerated to supersonic speed. The primary flow then exits the primary nozzle, where it entrains and is mixed with the secondary flow, creating a low pressure region or vacuum. The ejector shroud subsequently decelerates the combined flow while increasing the flow pressure, which increases suction performance and reduces energy loss. Because the primary nozzle mixes the two flows, the ejector shroud is able to have a length-to-entrance-diameter ratio significantly smaller than typical shrouds / diffusers, which decreases the system's size and increases performance.
