TL;DR: In this paper, a non-rotating inner mandrel is used to direct fluid jets in the nozzle body towards different portions of the interior of the flow conductor. But, the inner and outer mandrel can be attached to a modified nozzle body and rotated therewith.
Abstract: Apparatus for pressurized cleaning of well flow conductors. The apparatus has a non-rotating inner mandrel, an adapter to connect the inner mandrel to a work string, a rotating housing on the exterior of the inner mandrel, and a nozzle body attached to the housing. An alternative embodiment of the invention allows cleaning tools to be attached to a modified nozzle body and rotated therewith. Fluid pressure flowing through the inner mandrel will cause the housing to rotate relative to the inner mandrel. Rotation is used to direct fluid jets in the nozzle body towards different portions of the interior of the flow conductor. Rotation of a cleaning tool can also be used for combined mechanical and hydraulic drilling to remove deposits from within a well flow conductor.

TL;DR: In this paper, the acoustic emission and initial shear layer of a cold jet issuing from an underexpanded sonic nozzle were measured where the lip thickness of the nozzle exit varied from 0.015 to 0.625 nozzle diameters.

TL;DR: In this article, a high pressure, radio frequency discharge nozzle beam source has been developed for the production of very intense (⩾1018 atoms sr−1 s−1) supersonic beams of oxygen atoms.
Abstract: A high pressure, radio frequency discharge nozzle beam source has been developed for the production of very intense (⩾1018 atoms sr−1 s−1) supersonic beams of oxygen atoms. An efficient impedance matching scheme has been devised for coupling the radio frequency power to oxygen–rare gas mixtures as a function of gas pressure, temperature, and composition. Techniques for localizing the discharge directly behind the orifice of a specially designed quartz nozzle have also been developed. The above combine to yield a beam source which reliably produces a high degree of molecular dissociation in oxygen–rare gas mixtures at pressures up to 350 Torr. Atomic oxygen mean translational energies from 0.14–0.50 eV have been achieved using the seeded beams technique with Mach numbers up to 10 being realized. When helium is used as the carrier gas both O(3PJ) and O(1D2) atoms are present in the beam, while only ground state atoms appear to be present in argon seeded mixtures. This paper describes the design, constructi...

05 Feb 2003TL;DR: In this article, a hand-held powder-fed laser fusion welding torch providing manual flexibility for laser welding with powder fed material is presented, which includes a body, handle, and nozzle assembly.
Abstract: A novel and inventive hand held powder-fed laser fusion welding torch providing manual flexibility for laser welding with powder-fed material. The hand held laser includes a body, handle, and nozzle assembly. The nozzle may be shrouded by a cover that is slightly spaced apart from the nozzle. The gap between the two may provide space through which inert gas may flow. Laser light from a remote source shines through the nozzle's central aperture. The nozzle aperture may be circumscribed by powder channel outlets aligned upon a working focal point coincident with the laser beam to treat a workpiece. A proximity sensor may enable selective welding torch operation according to the presence of a workpiece.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for reducing the flame temperature of an oxy-fuel burner is proposed, where a central oxygen nozzle at least radially spaced from the central fuel nozzle, and at least one peripheral oxygen nozzle in the form of a Laval nozzle or, if it is an annular nozzle, is of the same cross-sectional variation as the Laval.
Abstract: A method for reducing the flame temperature of an oxy-fuel burner, such a burner comprising a central oxygen nozzle at least one fuel nozzle radially spaced from the central oxygen nozzle, and at least one peripheral oxygen nozzle at greater radial distance from the central oxygen nozzle than the fuel nozzle, all nozzles being at least substantially parallel, a casing surrounding the nozzles and whose forward end lies in a plane at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the burner, and whose rear portion defines an oxygen chamber, and means for the supply of oxygen-containing gas and fuel, respectively, to the nozzles. The peripheral oxygen nozzle is in the form of a Laval nozzle or, if it is an annular nozzle, is of the same cross-sectional variation as the Laval nozzle throughout its entire length. The major fraction of the volume of oxygen requisite for combustion is caused to pass at great speed through at least one oxygen nozzle disposed about the burner nozzle and thereby aspirate ambient atmosphere which is at a lower temperature than the flame, before the oxygen from the oxygen nozzle reacts in the flame.
