Hello,
What is the best way (simple and low cost) for mixing steam and air low flow streams (about 25 kg/hr)?

If you give us some more details what you are trying to do, what the system looks like, you'll get more useful suggestions.
RE: MIXING STEAM AND AIR
We intend to mix 25 kg/hr 14 barg steam at 250 C with 25 kg/hr 6 barg air at 25 C, the mixture will be routed to a furnace.
Hope these data clarifies the issue.

RE: MIXING STEAM AND AIR
The easiest way to mix them is just a tee and let the piping mix the streams. It sounds like pretty small stuff.
Most of the cost will be the instrumentation (control valves, flows, cabling, etc). Not sure of your control objective or how important the ratio is, Maybe all you need is a restriction orifice.
more info=better answer. You know this.
Best wishes,

We will use 1 inch pipes and the length after the mixing to the furnace is about 2 meters.
Should the tee be a special one? since it is a pilot the ratio is important.
Will an ejector be "overkill" ?
