German term or phrase: austritt (in this sentence).
This is a patent for method and a device for combusting solid fuels (especially agricultural and forestry biomasses) in moving grate combustion.

The queried term is in * asterisks

"Durch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung und die Beaufschlagung von Düsenstöcken 30, 31 bzw. Düsen 40, 41 mit Luft ergeben sich beim Ausführen des Verfahrens der Erfindung ebenso wie beim Betrieb der Vorrichtung der Erfindung erhebliche Vorteile beim
Nachverbrennen im Zyklon in der Zyklonkammer 5, da die Drehrichtung umgedreht werden kann, einerseits, und durch Wahl der Stärke/Geschwindigkeit, mit der Luft aus den Düsenstöcken 30, 31 bzw. Düsen 40, 41 *austritt* auch eine Einstellung der Art des Zyklons, nämlich turbulent oder eine reine Wirbelschicht, andererseits."

By way of the arrangement according to the invention and the application of air to nozzle assemblies 30, 31 or nozzles 40, 41 in the case of carrying out the method of the invention likewise as in the case of the operation of the device of the invention there are considerable advantages with respect to post-combustion in the cyclone in the cyclone chamber 5, as the direction of rotation can be reversed, on the one hand, and by selecting the force/speed, with the air from the nozzle assemblies 30, 31 or the nozzles 40, 41 an adjustment of the type of the cyclone, namely turbulently or a pure fluidised bed also austritt, on the other hand.

"austritt" does not make sense to me and has got in the way of interpreting the German from "und durch Wahl der Staerke" onwards.

I am not sure what it could be a mistake for.

Can anyone advise?

Explanation:
In your version, you have read 'der Luft' as 'the air', i.e. der as the instead of which (relative pronoun).

force with which ...
speed at which ...
Not sure how you deel with the clash of preopositions here.

agree  Björn Vrooman: I'd say "speed at which"; though, you should keep the words "airflow rate" in mind. "Einstellung der Art" needs to be moved up; else, this sentence won't ever make sense.

agree  Darin Fitzpatrick: I would use "exits" in place of "leaves", and agree with Vrooman's suggestion about putting "Einstellung der Art" earlier in the sentence. The original is also missing a verb in that "andererseits" clause, something like "vorgenommen werden kann."

Explanation:
I think this solution offers a good idiomatic match for 'austreten' and avoids the 'clash of prepositions', to boot.
