PCT No. PCT/AU93/00520 Sec. 371 Date May 19, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date May 19, 1995 PCT Filed Oct. 7, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/08724 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 28, 1994A mixing apparatus for atomizing fluid in a gas flow. The apparatus has a nozzle which fluidly communicates with a source of liquid, and a gas passage which surrounds the nozzle. The nozzle is formed such that it directs the liquid into the surrounding passage as a continuous, radial emanating sheet. The gas flowing through the passage impacts with the liquid sheet to produce a uniform cloud of atomized liquid droplets downstream of the nozzle. The apparatus may further have a reduced cross-sectional area of the passage in the vicinity of the nozzle to increase the gas velocity and enhance the atomization of the fluid. The nozzle may have a valve arrangement to selectively open and close the nozzle, and the passage may have a valve arrangement. A swirl mixing of the atomized liquid and gas may be provided downstream of the impact atomization of the fluid sheet in the passage.
