Abstract

Un método de eyeccion de líquido que comprende proporcionar una salida de eyeccion de líquido; proporcionar una primera ruta de flujo de líquido para un primer líquido en comunicacion fluida con la salida de eyeccion de líquido; proporcionar una segunda ruta de flujo de líquido para un segundo líquido, adyacente a la primera ruta de flujo de líquido; proporcionar una pared de separacion que tiene un miembro movil entre dicha primera ruta de flujo de líquido y dicha segunda ruta de flujo de líquido; y eyectar, mediante el desplazamiento del miembro movil hacia dicha primera ruta de flujo de líquido, un líquido que es una mezcla del primer líquido y no menos del 10% en peso del segundo líquido en base a la cantidad del primer líquido.
