  • the delivery may take place for example according to the following steps and, with a few simplifications, can be calculated quite well just by applying laws of energy, momentum and mass conservation:
  • the carrier gas leaves the drive nozzle, which corresponds to the first nozzle, at the highest possible speed. According to Bernoulli's law, this is accompanied by a dynamic drop in pressure, so that the pressure in the flow is lower than normal pressure.
  • the first nozzle may be designed to maximize the speed of the Laval nozzle and the drive jet, that is to say the carrier gas, leaves at supersonic speed.
  • the carrier gas can impinge on the electropositive metal located there, which may be under normal pressure or increased pressure.
  • the carrier gas After leaving the first nozzle, the carrier gas initially behaves like a free jet, and internal friction and turbulences cause a shear stress in the boundary layer between the rapid carrier gas and the much slower electropositive metal. This stress brings about a transfer of momentum, i.e. the electropositive metal is accelerated and entrained.
  • the mixing does not take place here on the principle of conservation of energy, but on the basis of conservation of momentum, that is to say that, because of impact losses, the application of the Bernoulli equation may lead to incorrect results here. Expansion of the carrier gas and the suction intake of the electropositive metal have the effect of slowing down the carrier gas.
  • the acceleration of the electropositive metal also causes a drop in pressure for the electropositive metal on the basis of the Bernoulli principle, so that electropositive metal can be replenished through the second feeding device, a sufficiently high minimum pressure preferably being available for the electropositive metal.

  • a carrier gas such as for example carbon dioxide
  • p 1 flows through the first nozzle 1 , and consequently produces a lower pressure p 2 in relation to p 1 at the constriction
  • a negative pressure is produced at the outlet of the container 3 as a result of the relationship p 1 >p 2 , and the liquid metal M is sucked out of the container 3 to the constriction.

  • the metal spray is self-igniting or still requires an external source of ignition.
  • the atomization of the metal M with the carrier gas is represented in FIG. 3 .
  • the pressure ratio of p 1 to p 2 thereby determines the volumetric flow of the metal melt M out of the container 3 . If it is intended that this should be independently controllable, the pressure in the container or the inflow of inert gas into the container may be set externally by way of a separate controller, for example in the form of a pressure controller or a mass flow controller.

  • FIG. 6 shows here the assignment of the pressures and components
  • FIG. 7 shows the device during the liquid metal atomization and combustion. The combustion once again takes place in the same way as in the first embodiment given by way of example.

  • the pumping effect is produced by the flow of the carrier gas (drive medium), which by momentum exchange sucks in the melt of the electropositive metal M/alkali metal melt (suction medium), accelerates it and delivers it.
  • FIG. 11 shows here the assignment of the pressures and components
  • FIG. 12 shows the liquid metal atomization and combustion.
  • the feeding of the carrier gas takes place through the first feeding device 1 ′ and the first nozzle 1 , which takes place coaxially within the second feeding device 2 ′ in a second nozzle 2 .
  • the further setup of the device once again resembles that of the fifth embodiment given by way of example, the combustion in the burner 4 taking place at the outlet of the second nozzle 2 .
  • a melt of an electropositive metal is always atomized as an example. It is however also possible in the embodiments given by way of example to use instead of the melt a powder comprising particles of the electropositive metal.
  • An electropositive metal M other than lithium may also be used, and the carrier gas may also be a gas other than nitrogen or carbon dioxide. It is also not ruled out that the burner 4 is fed combustion gas, possibly additional combustion gas (in principle even exhaust gas—entirely or partially combusted—from a plant for the burning of fossil fuels).
