Abstract
The invention relates to a device for mixing two fluid flows, initially guided separately from one another, in a two-circuit reaction engine, a mixing tube which encloses a hot core stream being provided, along the outer shaped lateral surface of which a cold bypass flow flows. The mixing tube is designed in the form of a truncated cone narrowing in the direction of flow and has openings arranged at the downstream end in the circumferential direction of the mixing-tube lateral surface in a cross-sectional plane lying perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the mixing tube. The hot core stream flowing through the mixing tube penetrates through the openings into the cold bypass flow flowing around the mixing-tube lateral surface. The openings have passage areas of elliptical shape with a major axis and a minor axis, the major axis of the passage areas running on the lateral surface of the mixing tube in the direction of flow of the fluids and the minor axis running perpendicularly thereto.
