Systems and methods for injecting and mixing a liquid hydrocarbon fuel to provide a uniform, homogenous fuel vapor mixture for introduction into a fuel reformer for use with a fuel cell are disclosed. Preferably, the system includes a fuel injector that generates and aspirate a liquid fuel in the presence of an atomizing gas stream; a diverging-converging mixing chamber, into which the atomized fuel and a secondary fluid stream are introduced, to enhance the mixing of the fuel and the added heated gas or steam; and a mixer / swirler, which can be centrally located in the mixing chamber between the upper and lower chambers, to stabilize the fuel vapor mixture further for greater uniformity and homogeneity. More preferably, grooves and / or brazed wires can be provided on the surfaces of the mixing chamber and / or mixer / swirler to channel any accumulated fuel so as to provide sufficient time to evaporate the accumulated fuel.

A method and a device for the atomization of a liquid by directing a jet of liquid onto a hot contact surface, in particular a deflecting surface, so that a part of the liquid is vaporized. The non-vaporized liquid is atomized into small droplets that form an aerosol.

A vaporizer vaporizes a force-fed liquid source material in a depressurized atmosphere to generate a source gas and discharging the source gas together with a carrier gas. The vaporizer includes a liquid reservoir chamber for temporarily storing the force-fed liquid source material; and a vaporization chamber communicating with the liquid reservoir chamber via a valve port. Further, the vaporizer includes a valve body adapted to sit on a valve seat surrounding the valve port of the liquid reservoir chamber; an actuator for driving the valve body; a carrier gas injection hole formed at a side of the valve body facing the valve port; and a discharge port for discharging the source gas from the vaporization chamber. By virtue of a specific arrangement of the carrier gas injection hole, the liquid source material is prevented from remaining unvaporized at a downstream side of the valve port.

The ultrasonic solution separation apparatus oscillates an undiluted solution containing a target material at an ultrasonic frequency to produce mist, and collects the mist to collect a target material containing liquid that contains the target material with higher concentration than the undiluted solution. The ultrasonic solution separation apparatus includes an atomization chamber that oscillates the undiluted solution at an ultrasonic frequency by using a plurality of ultrasonic oscillators to produce the mist; and a collection portion that aggregates and thus collects the mist produced in the atomization chamber. The atomization chamber is divided into a plurality of divided chamber sections so that the ultrasonic oscillators are disposed in the respective divided chamber sections. The ultrasonic oscillators oscillate the undiluted solution supplied into the divided chamber sections to produce the mist. The mist ejected from the divided chamber sections is collected to obtain the target material containing liquid.

In a method and apparatus for separating a solution, the solution containing a target substance is atomized into a mist in an atomizer (1) to produce a mixed fluid of mist and air. In the collection of the mist from this mixed fluid, an air transmission membrane (51) is used, and the air transmission membrane has a pore size that transmits air but does not transmit the target substance contained in the mist. The mixed fluid is brought into contact with the primary surface of the air transmission membrane (51), and the pressure on the primary surface is made higher than the pressure on the secondary surface of the opposite side. Thereby, the air in the mixed fluid is allowed to pass through the air transmission membrane (51) to separate part or all of the air contained in the mixed fluid.

In the present invention, a solution containing a target substance is atomized into a mist in an atomizer 1 to produce a mixed fluid of mist and air. In the collection of the mist from this mixed fluid, an air transmission membrane 51 of a pore size is used that transmits air but does not transmit the target substance contained in the mist. In the present invention, the mixed fluid is brought into contact with the primary surface of the air transmission membrane 51, and the pressure on the primary surface is made higher than the pressure on the secondary surface of the opposite side, whereby the air in the mixed fluid is let to pass through the air transmission membrane 51 to separate part or all of the air contained in the mixed fluid.
