Interestingly the cyclonic effect could be adding to the efficency of 
the device, not by mixing but by sorting,  the centripidal force 
throwing heavier/cooler gasses to the outside, while the hot light 
gasses move inward.    See

Though your gas speeds are low, even the sorting of the heavy and cooler 
particulates along the walls may help explain the cooler than expected 
vessels

Take Care
