Abstract
Apparatus and methods to lower peak temperatures and improve performance of aircraft anti-icing systems are described herein. One described example apparatus includes a skin on an inlet side of a nacelle of an aircraft defining an annular chamber, a gas delivery system disposed within the annular chamber to provide a first gas to mix with and entrain a second gas in the annular chamber to define a flow through the annular chamber, and a deflector vane disposed within the annular chamber to redirect the flow through the annular chamber. The second gas is at a different temperature from the first gas.
