Characterize Subsonic, Sonic and Supersonic nozzles based on throat velocity, exit velocity, mach number, pressure ratio and shapes
Added by Asunci-N B.
Step 1
- Throat velocity: the flow speed at the nozzle throat (the point of minimum area). If choking occurs, throat Mach = 1. - Exit velocity: the flow speed at the nozzle exit. - Mach number (M): M < 1 subsonic, M = 1 sonic (choked at the throat), M > 1 supersonic. - Show more…

Consider the isentropic flow through a convergent-divergent nozzle with an exit-to-throat area ratio of 2. The reservoir pressure and temperature are 1 atm and 288 K, respectively. Calculate the Mach number, pressure, and temperature at both the throat and the exit for the cases where (a) the flow is supersonic at the exit and (b) the flow is subsonic throughout the entire nozzle except at the throat, where M = 1.
Adi S.
Consider a supersonic nozzle constructed with a ratio of exit to throat areas of (2). The nozzle is supplied with air at low speed at (689 kpa, 334 k). The overall nozzle efficiency from inlet to exit is (90 %), but the flow is isentropic to the throat. Calculate the pressure, velocity and Mach number at the exit
Sketch the variation in $\mathbf{V}, T, P, \rho,$ and $M$ for a subsonic flow into a convergent nozzle with $M=1$ at the exit plane.
