Embodiment Construction

[0022] Aspects of the present disclosure relate to nozzles or nozzle assemblies and related methods of use wherein a first fluid flow is directed to a second fluid flow in a direction opposite to the second flow direction, the two fluid flows are mixed to produce a mixed fluid flow . In some non-limiting embodiments, the nozzle assemblies of the present disclosure and associated methods of use entail the generation of an atomized liquid-gas two-phase flow comprising droplets of liquid dispersed within a gas. Optionally, the nozzle assemblies of the present disclosure provide for generating a pulsed fluid flow (eg, a pulsed atomized flow) having a selected pulse frequency.

[0023] Figure 1A One embodiment of a nozzle assembly 100 is shown in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure. The nozzle assembly (or "backflow nozzle") includes an inner tube 102 and an outer shell 104 . Details of the various components are described below. In general, however, the in...

Abstract

A nozzle assembly includes an inner tube and an outer shell. The inner tube terminates at the outlet end and defines a first flow channel. The first flow channel directs the first fluid flow to the outlet port in the main flow direction. The housing includes tubular side walls and end walls. The tubular sidewall defines a central axis. The end wall defines an outlet aperture and an internal guide structure. The outlet end is axially aligned with the outlet hole. A second flow channel is established between the inner tube and the outer shell. The inner guide structure is configured relative to the outlet end and arranged to direct at least a portion of the second fluid flow from the second flow channel to the outlet end in a direction initially opposite the main flow direction to produce a mixed fluid flow.

Description

Background technique [0001] Nozzles, such as atomizer nozzles, are sometimes used to atomize a stream of liquid. Atomized liquid flows (eg, also sometimes referred to as aerosolized liquid flows, such as sprays) include droplets of a liquid dispersed in a gas, such as air. For example, a liquid stream is atomized by directing a gas stream into a liquid stream to create droplets. In some examples, liquid fuels may be atomized for use in gas turbine combustors, boilers, and the like. In other examples, liquids, such as paint or other coatings, may be atomized for spray applications, such as paint application. Liquid pesticides, herbicides, etc. can be atomized, eg for spraying. [0002] As another example, internal combustion engines rely on rapid atomization of liquid fuel prior to combustion. In general, the atomization of a liquid spray depends on its fluid properties, density, viscosity and surface tension, as well as the inertial force generated by the delivery device. ...
