Abstract

Gas blast attenuation is disclosed including the use of a pair of gaseous jets having axes lying in a common plane and directed to impinge upon each other preferably at an acute angle, the attenuable material being introduced into the influence of air induced by one of the jets in the region of impingement of the jets, and the combined jet flow of the two jets carrying the attenuable material into a zone of interaction between the combined jet flow and a larger gaseous blast.
