<p>An ultrasonically enhanced continuous flow apparatus and method for selectively microemulsifying water and other normally immiscible fluids into the fuel of continuous combustors at the point of injection and a method for the same is disclosed. The apparatus includes an injector housing which in part defines a chamber adapted to receive a pressurized liquid and a means for applying ultrasonic energy to a portion of the pressurized liquid. The injector housing further includes an inlet adapted to supply the chamber with the pressurized liquid, and an exit orifice defined by the walls of an injector tip. The exit orifice is adapted to receive the pressurized liquid from the chamber via a vestibular cavity and pass the liquid out of the injector housing in the form of an emulsified, atomized plume. When the means for applying ultrasonic energy is excited, it applies ultrasonic energy to the pressurized liquid without mechanically vibrating the injector tip.</p> |
