Abstract
A method according to certain embodiments generally involves mixing exhaust gas and air in an exhaust gas recirculation mixer. The method includes directing exhaust gas from an engine to a mixing tube along a first flow path, and directing air to the mixing tube along a second flow path. One of the first flow path or the second flow path is an outer flow path, and the other of the first flow path or the second flow path is an inner flow path surrounded by the outer flow path. The first flow path and the second flow path merge within a throat of the mixing tube such that the exhaust gas and the air mix within the mixing tube to thereby provide a mixture of exhaust gas and air.
