A porous matrix structure for fluid mixing, such as for a burner. The matrix structure includes contiguous fluid flow channels extending through two or more matrix layers or sections. Each of the contiguous fluid flow channels comprises a different channel configuration in each of the two or more layers. Each of the contiguous fluid flow channels is separate from adjacent contiguous fluid flow channels to minimize cross flow. Each fluid flow channel changes in size and/or is divided into subchannels at each layer change.
A matrix structure comprising contiguous fluid flow channels extending through two or more layers, wherein each of the contiguous fluid flow channels comprises a different channel configuration in each of the two or more layers.
A matrix structure comprising:
A method of delivering a gas and/or oxidant mixture to a burner, the method comprising passing the gas and/or oxidant mixture through a matrix structure including contiguous fluid flow channels extending through first and second matrix material layers, wherein each of the contiguous fluid flow channels comprises a first channel configuration within the first matrix material layer and a second channel configuration within the second matrix material layer.
