1. A hollow fluid conducting elbow comprising:

  • an inlet having a inlet cross-sectional area, the inlet for receiving fluid flow;

    a first section having a first end and a second end, the first end being in communication with the inlet, the second end having a first cross-sectional area larger than the inlet cross-sectional area to retard the rate of flow of the fluid;

    a second section having a first end and a second end, the first end of the second section being in communication with the second end of the first section, the second end of the second section having a second cross-sectional area, the second cross-sectional area having a different shape than the first cross-sectional area to change the direction of the flow of the fluid;

    a transitional section having a first end in communication with the second end of the second section, the transitional section having an exit surface, the exit surface including an aperture disposed therethrough; and

    an outlet having a first end and a second end through which the fluid exits from the elbow, the first end being in communication with at least a portion of the exit surface, the second end having an outlet cross-sectional area smaller than the exit surface aperture.
