A Review on Process and Practices in Operation and Design Modification of Ejectors

This work reviews the current operational condition and activities on design modification for different applications of ejectors. Ejectors being a simple mechanical system capable of performing multiple fluid related functions (vacuum generation, pumping, mixing, condensing and heat exchanging), hav...
