A two phase reactor includes a source of liquid reactant and a source of gas reactant. A chamber has an inlet coupled to the source of gas reactant and a flat jet nozzle coupled to the source of the liquid reactant.

Two phase reactor

The invention relates to a gas liquid contactor and effluent cleaning system and method and more particularly to an array of nozzles configured to produce uniformly spaced flat liquid jets shaped to minimize disruption from a gas. An embodiment of the invention is directed towards a gas liquid contactor module including a liquid inlet and outlet and a gas inlet and outlet. An array of nozzles is in communication with the liquid inlet and the gas inlet. The array of nozzles is configured to produce uniformly spaced flat liquid jets shaped to minimize disruption from a gas flow and maximize gas flow and liquid flow interactions while rapidly replenishing the liquid.

Gas liquid contactor and effluent cleaning system and method

A method for collecting, reprocessing, and recycling chemical species used in the operation of a chemical oxygen-iodine laser system, especially a space-based system, is described. The method primarily includes: (1) collecting an amount of spent basic hydrogen peroxide containing aqueous potassium chloride; (2) converting the aqueous potassium chloride into water, molecular hydrogen, molecular chlorine, and aqueous potassium hydroxide; (3) combining the water and molecular hydrogen with an amount of molecular oxygen from the molecular oxygen source to form aqueous hydrogen peroxide; and (4) mixing the aqueous hydrogen peroxide with the aqueous potassium hydroxide to form basic hydrogen peroxide.

Recycling system for a chemical laser system

An integrated dual source recycling system and method for a chemical oxygen-iodine laser system is described. The recycling system primarily includes: (1) a first collection system for collecting an amount of spent basic hydrogen peroxide comprised of spent aqueous potassium chloride; and (2) a second collection system for collecting an amount of the spent laser exhaust gas. Several processing systems are also employed to convert the spent aqueous potassium chloride and the spent laser exhaust gas into hydrogen peroxide and potassium hydroxide which are mixed together to form fresh basic hydrogen peroxide. Additionally, the spent laser exhaust gas is recycled back into molecular nitrogen, molecular iodine, molecular oxygen, and molecular chlorine.

A sealed exhaust chemical oxygen-iodine laser (SECOIL) employing a sealed exhaust system (SES) is described. The SES is capable of selectively condensing and cryosorbing various chemical species contained in the laser-exhaust gas. Additionally, a condensable diluent is employed. The SES is configured so that the diluent and other condensables can be removed in a first stage with a high temperature condensing bed, while the oxygen can then be removed in a second stage in a low temperature sorbing bed. The result is a reduction in the weight, volume, and power consumption of the SECOIL system, especially the SES component thereof.

Sealed exhaust chemical oxygen-iodine laser system

A sealed exhaust chemical oxygen-iodine laser system is described, wherein the sealed exhaust system includes an adsorption bed for adsorbing sorbable material contained in the laser exhaust gas, and a temperature control assembly for controlling the temperature of the incoming laser exhaust gas and the adsorbent media of the adsorption bed.

SECOIL reprocessing system

A generator for producing a flow of excited oxygen in the singlet delta electronic state comprising a vacuum chamber, an inlet feed system, an internal reaction zone, a method for cooling said reaction zone, an outlet system for separating the gas from the liquid, and a means for interfacing this device to a lasing device for directing the flowing singlet delta gas into a laser cavity.

Singlet delta oxygen generator and process

The present invention describes a process for the compaction and densification of discrete powder materials utilizing a high amplitude stress wave which produces a high pressure condition at a surface of the particles thereby driving said stress wave into and through the particles.
