专利汇可以提供Test process and apparatus for treatment of jet engine exhaust专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且A process and apparatus for treating the exhausts of jet engines being tested on jet test stands is shown. A jet or spray of water is introduced to the surface of the exhaust stream serving at once to augment the exhaust and cool it. Substantially less augmentation air is therefore required to absorb the energy of the exhaust, the load on downstream pollution abatement equipment is lessened and the treated exhaust is at least partially condensible. In a preferred embodiment a portion of the exhaust gases that have been partially cooled by air and water augmentation are recycled and remixed with fresh exhaust gases and fresh augmentation air. This internal augmentation results in a decrease in external air augmentation. Also the recycle stream contains some unvaporized water which vaporizes under the conditions at the point of mixture. More efficient use of the augmentation water is thereby achieved with a further reduction in total flows. The augmentation apparatus in which the recycle is achieved comprises an augmenter shell having an annular inner shell having a diverging inner surface.,下面是Test process and apparatus for treatment of jet engine exhaust专利的具体信息内容。
