- Abstract
Mixing tubes at nozzle outlets of sewage outfalls perform as water-jet pumps to dilute the effluent with river or sea water. The general characteristics of water-)et pumps are discussed and their proportions for optimum efficiency presented. The specific conditions for reduced differential head across the mixing tube are outlined and illustrated by reference to a recent article describing an installation. Lines of research are indicated from which criteria for optimum effluent dispersion with minimum energy consumption might be evolved.
