Heat exchange also reduced erosion of the anode of the plasma torch. Fuel mixing atomization, fuel mixture distribution enhancement and combustion reaction enhancement are improved by unsteady plasma torch energization, integral formation of the heat exchanger, fuel injection nozzle and plasma torch anode in a more compact, low-profile arrangement which is not intrusive on a highspeed air flow with which the invention is particularly effective and further enhanced by use of nitrogen as a feedstock material and inclusion of high pressure gases in the fuel to cause effervescence during injection.application/pdfen-USPatenthttp://pimg-fpiw.uspto.gov/fdd/98/715/075/0.pdf1141916860/39.82660/761F02K7/10F02K3/10F05D2220/10F05D2220/80F23R2900/000097571598
