It is designed based on velocity of the fluid, and the shape and the size of the basic convergent-Divergent nozzle to have same displacing object. Newton’s theory was soon throat area, length, convergent angle and divergent followed by other theoretical solution of fluid motion angle as single nozzle. But the design of Tri-nozzle is problems. All these were restricted to flow under optimized to have high expansion co-efficient than idealized conditions, i.e. air was assumed to posses single nozzle without altering the divergent angle.

Introduction to nozzle A nozzle is a device designed to control the direction or characteristics of a fluid flow (especially Swedish engineer of French descent who, in trying to to increase velocity) as it exits (or enters) an enclosed develop a more efficient steam engine, designed a chamber. A nozzle is often a pipe or tube of varying turbine that was turned by jets of steam. The critical cross sectional area and it can be used to direct or component – the one in which heat energy of the hot modify the flow of a fluid (liquid or gas). Nozzles are high-pressure steam from the boiler was converted frequently used to control the rate of flow, speed, into kinetic energy – was the nozzle from which the direction, mass, shape, and/or the pressure of the jet blew onto the wheel. De Laval found that the most stream that emerges from them. A jet exhaust efficient conversion occurred when the nozzle first produces a net thrust from the energy obtained from IJPRES INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING STUDIES Volume 9 /Issue 2 / SEP 2017 combusting fuel which is added to the inducted air. gases is directly backwards, as any sideways This hot air is passed through a high speed nozzle, a component would not contribute to thrust. propelling nozzle which enormously increases its 2. Literature review kinetic energy. The goal of nozzle is to increase the CONVERGENT-DIVERGENT nozzle is kinetic energy of the flowing medium at the expense designed for attaining speeds that are greater than of its pressure and internal energy. Nozzles can be speed of sound. the design of this nozzle came from described as convergent (narrowing down from a the area-velocity relation (dA/dV)=-(A/V)(1-M^2) M wide diameter to a smaller diameter in the direction is the Mach number ( which means ratio of local of the flow) or divergent (expanding from a smaller speed of flow to the local speed of sound) A is area diameter to a larger one). A de Laval nozzle has a and V is velocity The following information can be convergent section followed by a divergent section derived from the area-velocity relation – and is often called a convergent-divergent nozzle 1. For incompressible flow limit, i.e. for M tends to ("con-di nozzle"). Convergent nozzles accelerate zero, AV = constant. This is the famous volume subsonic fluids.

Therefore, the velocity Increasing the nozzle pressure ratio further increases in a convergent duct and decreases in a will not increase the throat Mach number beyond Divergent duct. This result for compressible subsonic unity. Downstream (i.e. external to the nozzle) the flows is the same as that for incompressible flow. flow is free to expand to supersonic velocities. Note 3. For M > 1, an increase in area results in increases that the Mach 1 can be a very high speed for a hot of velocity and vice versa, i.e. the velocity increases gas; since the speed of sound varies as the square root in a divergent duct and decreases in a convergent of absolute temperature. Thus the speed reached at a duct. This is directly opposite to the behavior of nozzle throat can be far higher than the speed of subsonic flow in divergent and convergent ducts. sound at sea level. This fact is used extensively in 4. For M = 1, dA/A = 0, which implies that the rocketry where hypersonic flows are required, and location where the Mach number is unity, the area of where propellant mixtures are deliberately chosen to the passage is either minimum or maximum. We can further increase the sonic speed. Divergent nozzles easily show that the minimum in area is the only slow fluids, if the flow is subsonic, but accelerate physically realistic solution. sonic or supersonic fluids. Convergent-divergent One important point is that to attain supersonic nozzles can therefore accelerate fluids that have speeds we have to maintain favorable pressure ratios choked in the convergent section to supersonic across the nozzle. One example is attain just sonic speeds. This CD process is more efficient than speeds at the throat, pressure ratio to e maintained is allowing a convergent nozzle to expand (Pthroat / P inlet)=0.528. supersonically externally.
