Converging-Diverging nozzle
5
Application: Propulsion and the High speed flow of gases.
Mass Flow Rate:
Low Pressure at the back
?More mass flow rate
Subsonic Flow (M<1)
6
1- Nozzle isn't choked
2- Accelerates through the converging section
3- Reaches its maximum speed at the throat.
5- Lowering the back pressure increases the flow speed everywhere in the nozzle.
4- Decelerates through the diverging section.
Sonic Flow (M=1)
7
1- Nozzle is choked
2- Accelerates through the converging section
3- Reaches its maximum speed at the throat. (M=1)
4- Decelerates through the diverging section.
