ENHANCED TURBULENT MIXING

A flow directing apparatus (100; 200; 300; 400; 500; 600) for directing fluid flowing therethrough includes a flow body (102; 202) defining an upstream facing inlet surface (104) and an opposed downstream facing outlet surface (106) with a bore (108; 208, 209; 550, 556; 608) defined through the flow...

More Information
Summary:A flow directing apparatus (100; 200; 300; 400; 500; 600) for directing fluid flowing therethrough includes a flow body (102; 202) defining an upstream facing inlet surface (104) and an opposed downstream facing outlet surface (106) with a bore (108; 208, 209; 550, 556; 608) defined through the flow body (102; 202). The bore (108; 208, 209; 550, 556; 608) includes an inlet portion (110) of the bore extending in a downstream direction from an inlet (112) where the bore meets the inlet surface (104). An intermediate portion (114) of the bore extends in a downstream direction from the inlet portion (110) of the bore. A backstep portion (116; 314; 414) of the bore extends downstream from the intermediate portion (114) of the bore to an outlet (118) where the bore meets the outlet surface (106). The intermediate portion (114) of the bore has a cross-sectional flow area that is smaller than that of the inlet portion (110) and smaller than that of the backstep portion (116; 314; 414) to provide a backward facing step in flow area for flow through the bore (108; 208, 209; 550, 556; 608).
