Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure describe a two-fluid nozzle including a nozzle body. The nozzle body includes a first fluid nozzle tip having a first fluid opening formed therein. The nozzle body includes a second fluid nozzle tip comprising a second fluid opening formed therein. The first fluid nozzle tip and second fluid nozzle tip can be fluidically isolated from each other in the nozzle body. The first fluid opening and second fluid opening are each arcuate and rectangular. The second fluid opening is positioned adjacent to the first fluid opening such that, when flowing, the second fluid from the second fluid opening affects the first fluid from the first fluid opening of a first tubular member.
Claims20
A two-fluid nozzle comprising:
- a nozzle body having a front surface, a rear surface, and a longitudinal axis extending between the front surface and the rear surface, the nozzle body comprising:
- a first fluid nozzle tip comprising:
- a distal end forming a portion of the front surface of the nozzle body;
- and
- a first fluid opening formed at the distal end of the first fluid nozzle tip, wherein the first fluid opening is arcuate and rectangular, wherein the first fluid opening is configured to provide a first fluid from a first fluid passageway inlet via a first fluid passageway formed at least partially from a first tubular member;
- and
- a second fluid nozzle tip comprising:
- a distal end forming a portion of the front surface of the nozzle body;
- and
- a second fluid opening formed at the distal end of the second fluid nozzle tip, wherein the second fluid opening is arcuate and rectangular, and wherein the second fluid opening is configured to provide a second fluid from a second fluid passageway inlet via a second fluid passageway;
- wherein the first fluid passageway and the second fluid passageway are at least partially within the nozzle body and are fluidically isolated from each other in the nozzle body;
- wherein the second fluid opening is positioned adjacent to the first fluid opening such that, when flowing, the second fluid from the second fluid opening affects the first fluid from the first fluid opening.
