In one embodiment, a method for generating heat energy includes injecting a stream having a concentration of at least 50% oxygen (O2 stream) into a primary gas stream through a mixer, the mixer discharging the O2 stream as two or more spaced jets traversing the primary stream, thereby enriching the primary gas stream. The method further includes mixing fuel with the enriched primary gas stream, thereby forming a fuel stream; and combusting the fuel stream, thereby forming a flue gas stream.

The method of claim 1, further comprising injecting a second stream having a concentration of at least 50% oxygen into a secondary gas stream through a second mixer, the second mixer discharging the second O2 stream as two or more spaced jets traversing the secondary stream, thereby enriching the secondary gas stream, wherein the enriched secondary stream is combusted with the fuel stream. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising recycling a substantial portion of the flue gas stream, thereby forming a recycled flue gas stream (RFG), wherein the primary and secondary gas streams are fed by the RFG stream. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the enriched primary gas stream has an O2 concentration of 18-21% and the enriched secondary gas stream has an O2 concentration of 21-40%. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising sensing an O2 concentration of the enriched stream and controlling a flow rate of the O2 stream based on the measured O2 concentration. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the mixer discharges the jets as swirling jets. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the mixer is fed by a conduit and the mixer extends outward past the conduit. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein plane in which said two or more spaced jets lie is perpendicular to the longitudinal flow direction. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the O2 concentration of the O2 stream is at least 90%. 14.
