Chris, that is what an exhaust augmenter does. The engine's exhaust
goes into point D in your drawing. It is accelerated through the
dimension B, and leaves a slight vacuum which pulls the other fluid in
through E. The exhaust augmenter simply eliminates the structure needed to connect a hose to point E.
