Methods and systems for a feed injector are provided. The feed injector includes a first annular channel defined in the feed injector. The first annular channel includes a first end, an arcuate portion and a second end. The arcuate portion is between the first and second ends, and the first annular channel is oriented substantially concentrically about a longitudinal axis of the feed injector. The arcuate portion is oriented to discharge a fluid flowing through the first annular channel radially outward with respect to the longitudinal axis. The feed injector also includes a second annular channel including a first end, an arcuate portion, and a second end, wherein the arcuate portion is between the first and second ends. The second annular channel circumscribes the first annular channel, and the second annular channel first end is positioned radially outward and downstream from the first annular channel first end.
