    Designing a 2D Nozzle for Fluid Testing

    HI, I'm constructing a 2D nozzle for fluid testing. I have made my nozzle X5 larger and taken a 1/8" slice. Now I'm having trouble designing the 2d nozzle so that the exiting air will have a velocity of 3ft/s. I must maintain an Re number of 1000 as well. My problem lies in that fact that. I...

    How Can Isentropic Efficiency Be 90% If Entropy Remains Constant?

    Hey guys, I have been given that the isentropic efficiency of a nozzle = 90%. Inlet condictions are: 5MPa and 550°C and exit: 100kPa. Now \eta_{n}(h_{i} - h_{0}) = V^{2}_{i}/2 h(o) - h(i) is the enthalpy drop across the turbine. Now next they say that s(o) = s(i). Now how can the entropy at...

    How does a nozzle work (in a steam turbine)?

    Hello, For sometime now I've been into electronics and i have forgotten most of my meager knowledge in thermodynamics. . Could you explain how a convergent-divergent nozzle works ? Steam at high temperature and high pressure but relatively low speed enters into the nozzle. Then why...

    Solving Water Nozzle Problem: Ratio of Plug Radius to Hose Radius

    THE PROBLEM In an adjustable nozzle for a garden hose, a cylindrical plug is aligned along the axis of the hose and can be inserted into the hose opening. The purpose of the plug is to change the speed of the water leaving the hose. The speed of the water passing around the plug is to be 4...

    Why Does Flow Become Supersonic in the Diverging Section of a Nozzle?

    i just started reading about nozzles and turbines in my semester course. i went through converging diverging nozzles. for achieving a supersonic flow, a converging diverging nozzle is used. now a converging section will work as a nozzle only till the flow is subsonic and a diffuser at supersonic...
