A flow mixer and conditioner for use within a conduit conditions flowing media within the conduit to provide a swirl-free, symmetric, and reproducible velocity profile regardless of upstream flow distortions, disturbances, or anomalies. Tabs are cut from a single plate and bent or affixed to provide mixing and conditioning of the flowing media. Single tabs or tab pairs emanating from common vertices can be formed so that they diverge in, or against, the direction of flowing media. The flow conditioner requires as little as three pipe diameters downstream and upstream to mix and condition the flow stream allowing close placement to elbows, valves, tees, and other disturbances typically seen in industrial plants.

The invention discloses a steam and water mixing heater which is a novel heating device for directly mixing steam and water (or other liquids) and belongs to the field of heat exchange. The steam and water mixing heater has the benefits a follows: a damping spring is additionally arranged between a laval nozzle and a casing, so that oscillation of the laval nozzle, which is generated when steam and cold water are mixed, can enable the oscillation of the casing to be reduced through buffering action of the damping spring; the central axis of a steam inlet is shifted a certain distance from the central axis of the laval nozzle, so that the steam is prevented from directly impacting the laval nozzle after entering; the steam generates swirlflow inside, so that oscillation to the equipment is reduced; and the swirling steam enters the laval nozzle through heating holes, so that the mixing of the steam and the cold water is strengthened, and further, the steam and the water can be uniformly mixed in a shorter time.

The invention discloses a re-improved L-shaped pitot tube for measuring flow velocity of fluid. According to the re-improved L-shaped pitot tube, the semispherical, semielliptical spherical or cone frustum-shaped section of the measuring head, which is used for measuring the total pressure, of the conventional L-shaped pitot tube is changed to be a section of small straight pipe, and a section of conical tube with a small taper angle or both a conical tube and an elliptic conical tube is/are connected between the small straight pipe and the small straight pipe of the pitot tube for transition. According to the invention, since the area of the measuring head is greatly reduced, and vortexes formed in front of the measuring opening can be reduced, so that the total pressure is measured more accurately, and higher flow velocity can be measured; since the measuring head becomes smaller, the conical tube with the small taper angle is adopted for transition, and fluid outside the tube is more stable, static pressure is measured more accurately; since the external diameter of the pitot tube is extremely small, and interference to the state of fluid in a measured tube is reduced, smaller air ducts can be measured, and the measurement range is enlarged.
