APPARATUS FOR, AND METHOD OF, MIXING A POWER IN A LIQUID

摘要

The present application relates to an apparatus for mixing a powder in a liquid. The apparatus has a cavity (7) for holding a powder (27), a passageway (6) communicating with the cavity (7), and a flow actuator (3) for inducing an oscillating gas flow in the passageway (6). Therefore, as a gas flow oscillates in the passageway (6), a dry powder (27) is drawn into the in one direction, and the powder is expelled from passageway from the cavity when the gas flows the passageway towards a liquid by synthetic jetting when the gas present application also relates to a method of mixing a power in a liquid.

1. An apparatus for mixing a powder in a liquid comprising
a cavity for holding a powder, a passageway communicating with the cavity, and a flow actuator for inducing an oscillating gas flow in the passageway so that a powder is drawn into the passageway from the cavity when the gas flows in one direction and the powder is expelled from the passageway towards a liquid by synthetic jetting when the gas flows in the opposite direction, wherein the passageway further comprises an outlet nozzle through which the powder is expelled by synthetic jetting from the passageway and wherein the cavity is disposed along the passageway between the flow actuator and the outlet nozzle.
