Abstract
Steam quality at both outlets of an impact T-Junction is equalized by a static mixer having corrugated lamella plates immediately adjacent the inlet leg to the junction causing substantial homogenization of the liquid and vapor phases of wet steam entering the junction so that the steam exiting both outlet legs of the junction will have substantially the same quality as the steam entering the junction.
