Embodiments of the present disclosure include a multi-inlet fracturing head (MIFH) having a first inlet channel extending through a body of the MIFH, the first inlet channel being substantially perpendicular to an axis of the MIFH and directing fluid into a first flow passage of the MIFH. The MIFH also includes a second inlet channel extending through the body of the MIFH, the second inlet channel being at an angle relative to the axis and directing fluid into the first flow passage of the MIFH.

Multi-inlet frack head system

A drilling system including a sensor configured to monitor at least one drilling parameter, and configured to generate a signal based on the at least one drilling parameter. An encoder is in communication with the sensor, and the encoder is configured to convert the signal into a modulation signal. A flow modulator is configured to channel drilling fluid therethrough. The flow modulator includes at least one stator element and a rotor element configured to freely rotate relative to the at least one stator element as the drilling fluid flows past the rotor element. A braking system is in communication with the encoder, and the braking system is configured to selectively decrease a rotational speed of the rotor element based on the modulation signal such that an encoded acoustic signal is emitted from the flow modulator through the drilling fluid.
