Such segmented streams can become more thoroughly mixed through normal flow characteristics of the downstream flow path, providing more effective mixing.

Abstract: A nutating pump is disclosed which has a modified piston and housing or casing that provides two distinct pump chambers or areas. Output from the first pump chamber is delivered during a first half of the dispense cycle or the piston movement cycle. A substantial portion of this output is held for delivery by the second chamber during a second part or half of the dispense cycle. Thus, the output generated by the pump is not altered or reduced, it is delivered over the entire piston movement cycle as opposed to prior art pumps which deliver all of the fluid during a first half or first portion of the piston movement cycle. In this way, superior pulse modification is achieved as fluid is delivered across the entire piston movement cycle as opposed to a first half or first portion of the piston movement cycle. In additional embodiments disclosed, two distinct chambers are also provided but each chamber generates its own output as the piston includes two machined or flat sections for active pumping.

Abstract: A valveless, double acting, positive displacement fluid transfer device is operable either as a pump when driven by a power source, or as a motor when the fluid working portion is driven by fluid under pressure through the inlet and outlet ports of the device. The device is based upon the principle of a plunger and cylinder which are angularly offset from a rotary shaft, and connected to the rotary shaft by radial arm and a spherical bearing. The plunger simultaneously rotates and reciprocates as the rotary shaft revolves, due to the plunger stroke varying cyclically due to the angular offset, as the plunger rotates within the cylinder. The plunger includes separate internal inlet and outlet passages therethrough, which cyclically communicate with an inlet port and an opposite coaxial outlet port in the cylinder to provide both suction and discharge with each plunger stroke.
