The performance of a horizontal liquid‐air ejector system was greatly enhanced by creating mixing shock. Principles of macroscopic momentum and energy balances were employed to define an overall loss factor which was found to be a useful correlating parameter in the case of homogeneous bubble flow. Empirical correlations are proposed to predict mass ratio as a function of different parameters.
