A process and apparatus for obtaining the emulsification of two or more nonmiscible liquids is disclosed. The process includes the step of passing at least one of the liquids through a passive device in the flow path of the liquid. The passive device in its preferred form is so dimensioned that the liquid passes through a first section of decreasing cross-sectional area wherein the pressure for the liquid decreases below its Clausius-Calpeyron pressure for the temperature of the liquid thus resulting in the formation of bubbles in the liquid. The liquid containing bubbles then passes through a section of uniform cross-sectional area wherein the bubbles fully develop. Thereafter, the bubbles are permitted to violently contract and expand in a mixture of the two or more nonmiscible liquids to obtain the desired emulsification. A passive apparatus for obtaining the above is also disclosed.
A process for obtaining the emulsification of two or more nonmiscible liquids comprising the steps of:
A process for obtaining the emulsification and combustion of two or more nonmiscible liquids including a combustible fuel comprising the steps of:
A passive device for effecting the emulsification of two or more nonmiscible liquids, said device comprising a venturi having a converging section, an inlet into said converging section for introducing at least one of said nonmiscible liquids into said venturi, an outlet from said converging section, said converging section being so dimensioned that the pressure of said one liquid decreases below its Clausius-Clapeyron pressure at said outlet when said liquid passes through said converging section thereby tending to form bubbles in said one liquid;
A passive device for effecting the emulsification and combustion of two or more nonmiscible liquids, said device including a venturi having a converging section, an inlet into said converging section for introducing at least one of said nonmiscible liquids into said venturi, an outlet from said converging section, said converging section being so dimensioned that the pressure of said one liquid decreases below its Clausius-Clapeyron pressure at said outlet when said liquid passes through said converging section thereby tending to form bubbles in said one liquid;
