1. An apparatus comprising:
an enclosed outer pressure vessel containing liquid and an air pocket above the liquid and having walls, including one or more side walls, configured for withstanding a pressure difference between an inside of the enclosed outer pressure vessel and an outside of the enclosed outer pressure vessel of more than 3200 psi, wherein walls of the enclosed outer pressure vessel define a hollow cavity within the enclosed outer pressure vessel;
a first inner vessel within the hollow cavity of the enclosed outer pressure vessel filled with liquid contained in the enclosed outer pressure vessel, the first inner vessel having one or more walls that define an interior of the first inner vessel, that define a longitudinal axis within the interior of the first inner vessel, and that define a first water jacket space between the one or more walls of the first inner vessel and the one or more side walls of the enclosed outer pressure vessel, wherein the first inner vessel is open at an open end of the first inner vessel;
a liquid inlet port through a wall of the enclosed outer pressure vessel, the liquid inlet port defining a conduit for liquid to be injected into the first water jacket space from outside the enclosed outer pressure vessel;
a first liquid outlet port through a wall of the enclosed outer pressure vessel, the first liquid outlet port configured to remove liquid injected through the liquid inlet port from the interior of the first inner vessel to outside the enclosed outer pressure vessel;
wherein the first inner vessel is arranged within the hollow cavity, such that liquid injected through the liquid inlet port and removed through the first liquid outlet port flows through the first water jacket space and into the interior of the first inner vessel through the open end of the first inner vessel; and
at least one fuel inlet port through a wall of the enclosed outer pressure vessel, the at least one fuel inlet port defining a conduit for fuel to be injected from outside the enclosed outer pressure vessel into the interior of the first inner vessel in a direction have an azimuthal component relative to the longitudinal axis and relative to a radial direction from the longitudinal axis to induce a cyclonic rotation in the liquid in the interior of the first inner vessel.
