(under subclass 888) System wherein the branched flow line has three or more inlets or admission passages connected to the single outlet or exhaust passage; and wherein the system includes three or more fluids, each fluid having a characteristic which is diverse from or different from the characteristic of at least two other of the fluids such as different composition, different phase (i.e., gas and liquid), different temperature, or different viscosity.
(1) Note. All of the three or more diverse fluids do not necessarily need to be flowing simultaneously; the system may include means to selectively control one or more of the flow paths.
