연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

An improved venturi apparatus for facilitating the mixture of fluid substances. The apparatus preferably comprises a first funnel section operative to receive a fluid and channel the same through a first cylindrical section or passageway. The first cylindrical section is fluidly connected to an intermediate passageway having a diameter larger than the first cylindrical section. At least one sidearm passageway is fluidly connected to the intermediate passageway into which at least one second fluid is introduced. The at least one sidearm passageway is preferably configured to fluidly interconnect with the intermediate passageway at approximately the medial portion of the intermediate passageway. Fluidly connected to the intermediate passageway is a second cylindrical section that is operative to direct the flow of the intermixed fluids to a second exit funnel section. The improved venturi apparatus is exceptionally efficient at drawing in a second fluid and effective in facilitating the mixture of two or more gasses, liquids or combinations thereof.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus configured to aerate wine, the apparatus comprising: a body providing a fluid flow path through the body such that the wine can pass downward through the body, the fluid flow path being defined by: a fluid-receiving portion configured to be open to and in fluid communication with the atmosphere to receive the wine as the wine is poured, the fluid-receiving portion defining at least a first cross-sectional area; a reduced-area portion disposed downstream from and in fluid communication with the fluid-receiving portion, the reduced-area portion defining a second cross-sectional area that is smaller than the first cross-sectional area of the fluid-receiving portion; an air inlet extending between the fluid flow path and a side of the body, fluidly coupling the atmosphere with the fluid flow path; and an increased-area portion disposed in a vicinity of the air inlet, the increased-area portion defining a third cross-sectional area that is greater than the second cross-sectional area. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the increased-area portion is disposed above the air inlet. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the increased-area portion is configured and disposed such that air is drawn from the atmosphere through the air inlet into the fluid flow path as the wine passes through the fluid flow path. 4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the third cross-sectional area is about 80% greater than the second cross-sectional area. 5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the third cross-sectional area is circular with a diameter of about 6.3 mm and the second cross-sectional area is circular with a diameter of about 4.7 mm. 6. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising another air inlet extending between the fluid flow path and a side of the body, fluidly coupling the atmosphere with the fluid flow path. 7. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the another air inlet is defined on an opposite side of the fluid flow path from the air inlet. 8. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the fluid-receiving portion provides a top aperture for entering wine and the fluid-receiving portion is tapered such that its cross-sectional area is smaller further away from the top aperture. 9. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein the reduced-area portion is a portion of the fluid-receiving portion. 10. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein the reduced-area portion is a cylindrical portion extending downward from the fluid-receiving portion. 11. A method of aerating wine, the method comprising: disposing a venturi apparatus higher than and in relation to a wine receptacle such that a fluid flow path provided by the apparatus is disposed to direct wine exiting from the venturi apparatus into the receptacle; pouring wine from a bottle, the wine flowing downward due to gravity, through an opening provided by the venturi apparatus exposed to the atmosphere into a wine-receiving portion of the fluid flow path, the wine being subject to atmospheric pressure in the wine-receiving portion; continuing to dispose the apparatus such that wine flows downward from the wine-receiving portion along the fluid flow path; producing a pressure differential between the fluid flow path and the atmosphere in a vicinity of an air intake of the apparatus; drawing air through the air intake due to the pressure differential; mixing the wine with the air drawn through the air intake to form aerated wine; and continuing to dispose the apparatus higher than and in relation to the receptacle such that the aerated wine flows from the apparatus into the receptacle. 12. An apparatus for facilitating the mixture of a liquid and a gas, the apparatus comprising: a fluid receiving section configured to be open to and in fluid communication with the atmosphere to receive the liquid due to the liquid being poured, the fluid receiving section defining a narrowing passageway; an intermediate passageway fluidly coupled to the fluid receiving section to receive the liquid from the fluid receiving section; an exit passageway fluidly coupled to the intermediate passageway, the intermediate passageway being located between the fluid receiving section and the exit passageway; and at least one side passageway fluidly coupled to the intermediate passageway and configured to allow the gas to be drawn into the intermediate passageway to mix with the liquid, wherein: the fluid receiving section, the intermediate passageway and the exit passageway are disposed to define a fluid flow path for the poured liquid, and the fluid flow path between the fluid receiving section and the exit passageway causes the liquid passing therethrough to experience a decreased pressure to draw the gas through the at least one side passageway when the liquid passes therethrough at the decreased pressure. 13. The apparatus of claim 12 wherein the exit passageway is configured to extend the fluid flow path from the intermediate passageway. 14. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the exit passageway includes a tapered configuration defining a cross-sectional area distal from the intermediate passageway that is greater than a cross-sectional area of the exit passageway at the intermediate passageway. 15. The apparatus of claim 12 wherein the intermediate passageway is cylindrical. 16. The apparatus of claim 15 wherein an aperture between the fluid receiving section and the intermediate passageway is circular and a diameter of the intermediate passageway is greater than a diameter of the aperture. 17. The apparatus of claim 12 further comprising a first cylindrical section fluidly coupling the fluid receiving section and the intermediate section. 18. The apparatus of claim 17 further comprising a smooth transitional section between the fluid receiving section and the first cylindrical section. 19. The apparatus of claim 17 further comprising a second cylindrical section fluidly coupling the intermediate passageway and the exit passageway. 20. The apparatus of claim 12 wherein an aperture is provided between the fluid receiving section and the intermediate passageway, and the at least one side passageway is fluidly connected to the intermediate passageway at a midsection thereof at a point equidistant from the aperture and the exit passageway. 21. The apparatus of claim 12 wherein the at least one side passageway includes first and second side passageways that extend in diametrically opposed positions from the intermediate passageway. 22. The apparatus of claim 12 wherein the intermediate passageway provides at least one of a ceiling or a floor. 23. The apparatus of claim 22 wherein the at least one of the ceiling or the floor is planar.
