Embodiments of a nozzle reactor of the type useable to inject a first
material feed stock and a second material feed stock to cause interaction
between the first material feed stock and second material feed stock are
described herein. According to one embodiment, the nozzle reactor
includes a reactor body having a reactor body passage with an injection
end and an ejection end. The nozzle reactor also includes a first
material injector having a first material injection passage and being
mounted in the nozzle reactor in material injecting communication with
the injection end of the reactor body. The first material injection
passage can have an enlarged volume injection section, an enlarged volume
ejection section, and a reduced volume mid-section intermediate the
enlarged volume injection section and the enlarged volume ejection
section. The first material injection passage can also have a material
injection end and a material ejection end in injecting communication with
the reactor body passage. The nozzle also includes a second material feed
port penetrating the reactor body and being adjacent to the material
ejection end of the first material injection passage and transverse to a
first material injection passage axis extending from the material
injection end and material ejection end in the first material injection
passage in the first material injector.
