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). 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

The flow starts from rest and producing a lateral thrust and possibly damaging it. accelerates subsonically to a maximum speed at the In practice, ambient pressure must be no throat, where it may arrive at M<1 or at M=1, as for higher than roughly 2–3 times the pressure in the converging nozzles.

If the flow is subsonic at the throat, it is subsonic all along the nozzle, and exit pressure pe naturally adapts to environmental pressure p0 because pressure-waves travel upstream faster (at the speed of sound) than the flow (subsonic), so that pe/p0=1.
